Can You Freeze Mac and Cheese?

[Anonymous]

DC is starting preschool in the fall, and I'm trying to figure out packed lunches. He likes pasta like mac and cheese and tortellini and pesto, but do things like that freeze and reheat well? He's an only child and the only one who will eat those dishes. But I don't really want to make mac and cheese on a weekend and feed it to him 3 days in a row.

Any other lunch ideas for protein sources (other than peanut butter)?

I make my own mac & cheese all the time and freeze it in small batches for the kids.

I boil the pasta the night before, put it in the fridge, heat it in the morning and put it in his thermos.
