I would like to make and freeze this dish… do I bake it before I freeze? Also – when we want to use it – do I thaw first or just bake? Could you please post "directions for dummies" I am new to this whole make ahead and freeze world – it has already really blessed my family though! Thank you!!!!!

My favorite comfort foods? Popcorn and mashed potatoes – but not eaten together! Chocolate is always a comfort as well!

I’m totally down with the mac and cheese. And sometimes we like to do a baked potato bar. We put the potatoes into the crock pot and leave them all day so we don’t find ourselves huddled around the oven at 6pm, starving and asking if they’re done yet! Set out REAL butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon bits or whatever suits you. MMMM
Another thing we like is just a simple vegetable plate with 3 of the 4 following:
1. Sweet potato with maple syrup, butter, and pecans
2. “Hoppin’ john” (open a can of blackeyed peas and a can of diced tomatoes, add both of them to sauteed onion, green peppers, garlic, and cumin)
3. Steamed brocolli or cabbage with butter, of course (Do you sense a butter theme here?)
4. Spaghetti squash with pesto

I never thought to put sour cream in my mac n cheese, but I bet that makes it very smooth. I will try it next time.

My kids don't like homemade mac & cheese either. It's not a cheese issue though – I think the powdered kind has some secret addictive ingredient.
