Ina's Cape Cod Chopped Sala

Can't find a picture, but this looks delicious. Although I pretty much love everything she makes.
Has blue cheese in it, which I would leave until the end as I don't eat it, but the other ingredients, arugula, walnuts, apple, bacon, dried cranberries are right up my street. As is the citrus-y dressing:

Ingredients
8 ounces thick-cut bacon, such as Niman Ranch
8 ounces baby arugula
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
1/2 cup toasted walnut halves, coarsely chopped (see note)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
6 ounces blue cheese, such as Roquefort, crumbled
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons good apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup good olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay the bacon slices on the rack. Roast the bacon for about 20 minutes, until nicely browned. Allow to cool.

In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, apple, walnuts, cranberries, and blue cheese.

For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, mustard, maple syrup, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.

Chop the bacon in large pieces and add it to the salad. Toss the salad with just enough dressing to moisten. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss well. Serve immediately.

Recipes - Crab Strudel, Crunchy Coleslaw

I love crab. It's my favorite. No picture, but here is a recipe for Ina's (barefoot contessa) crab strudel. Recipe here

And, from Giada, a coleslaw. Not that you need a recipe for it, but I want it here to remind me to make it. It has cranberries and pinenuts in it. And, the dressing is yogurt and sour cream. Better than mayo. She also does it in the food processor. I love mine, but have yet to use the shredding/slicing function. I think i'll try with this. recipe here

A fancy mac and cheese for Nick.
A lemon mousse for me. And a cinnamon butter too.
The later two require an electric mixer. Not sure whether to get one or not. It would be handy, but it's mostly used for naughty stuff, and I certainly don't need that.
