Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon butter.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat while macaroni is cooking. Add flour and whisk until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in a little milk and continue whisking. Pour in remaining milk and add frozen spinach. Cook, whisking constantly, until spinach softens and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in 2 cups Cheddar cheese; whisk until melted. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Drain macaroni and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover with cheese sauce. Mix well. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and broil until a golden crust forms on top, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium non-stick pan. Add the leeks, stir well, then cover and cook for about 6 mins or until softened.
- Put the flour and mustard powder in a small bowl and gradually whisk in the milk. Pour into the pan with the leeks and stir with a wooden spoon until thickened. Continue stirring over a low heat while the pasta cooks. It will seem thick but will be diluted later.
- Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water, then stir the paste into the sauce. Add the spinach and 1-11/2 ladlefuls of the water to make a spoonable sauce, then stir over the heat until the spinach has wilted. Stir in most of the cheese and taste for seasoning.
- Heat the grill. Tip the pasta mixture into a casserole dish, arrange the tomatoes over the top and scatter over the remaining cheese. Grill for 5-10 mins or until bubbling and golden.

Steps:
- Cook Simply Macaroni & Cheese as directed on package.
- After cooked, place the macaroni & cheese in a large bowl (more deep than wide) and mix the green onions. Set aside to cool for about an hour. This will allow the macaroni and cheese to firm up and stick together. May have to let sit longer if not sticking together. (also great when using left over Mac & cheese!).
- Whisk egg until well blended. This will be used to dip your mac & cheese "balls" into so the flour mixture will stick to it for a batter.
- Take the flour and add the steak seasoning to it. Mix well.
- Use an ice cream scoop or round table spoon to form rounded chunks of mac & cheese.
- Gently dip the mac & cheese balls into the egg batter and then roll in the flour. Place into frying oil and fry until slightly golden brown. (approximately 1 minute on medium heat - - be sure to turn on all sides).
- Repeat the process until you have all fried up!
- Makes about 12.
- Enjoy!

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE AND SPINACH STRATA (EMERIL GREEN RECIPE)
I normally hate spinach and absolutely loved this recipe! It's great for a brunch or a special breakfast. Just make it up the night before, stick in the fridge, and you can just pop it in the oven the next morning. It's easy to adjust to recipe and make substitutions if you want to, as well. Note that the prep time includes time that it chills in the fridge.
