    You little smiley faces are so cute when you pop them in your videos. Love Mac & cheese and I can just imagine how tasty that dish is. I enjoy the Eckrich Smoked sausage with it also. I usually make Mac & cheese when I make chili so that at some point during the week I make a casserole of that combo. Yum....Sounds like a great idea for this week. Y'all have a Blessed weekend.

    Karen, that's a real fine dish of mac n cheese! It's a meal itself; good at any time during the day or night (at work), and it's always easy to digest. I like to use lots of black pepper on mine, and add a side like broccoli or brussel sprouts or whatever. The sweet tea looks delicious. I bet you can taste the wonderful flavor of the tea leaf. I love parmesan in the bottle; that's what we were raised on, and I've had fresh too, not impressed. Thank you Karen for more fab recipes! Blessings to you!

    Great job Karen! I'm English and macaroni cheese isn't seen quite as often on our restaurant menus as it is in the States! But I love it - and it's such a useful dish if you need to feed vegetarians too. Add some delicious veggies or salad to it, and it's a great meal.
    I never knew how to make it, so your man n' cheese masterclass was fabulous! I never knew it could be made so well, so easily - I assumed you had to make a cheese sauce from scratch. Your way is so much simpler, and looks utterly delicious.
    Great to learn how to make iced tea too - thank you! I drink around 10 cups of hot sweet tea every day (it's an English addiction!) and never thought to try it iced. Sounds perfect as a Summer drink.
    OMG I am so impressed with your amazing ice making machine! Is it part of your fridge, or a separate gadget? Could you please give me some details so I can look it up? My favourite alcoholic tipple is rose wine, but I can only drink it with lemonade and lots of ice. I am forever pouring water into freezer ice trays, it's a nuisance job and of course I always spill water on the floor!
    Thanks for another great video Karen. I'm late to cooking, only started in my 40s and love getting your tips - they are pure gold. And so are you, lovely lady! Much love from a fan across the pond.
    PS Love your sweet kitty-cat, she is precious! So nice to give them the freedom to come and go as they please, cats love a bit of freedom but they love their home comforts too! Will we be seeing your lovely nephew again soon, I so enjoyed his 'guest appearance' on your channel, when he cooked a very classy meal and sang 'Amazing Grace'. And what a voice! Encore please! ❤❤❤

    Karen, you make macaroni and cheese just like I do! I also use several types of cheeses to give it a lovely flavour!
    I think I mentioned this in a previous vlog, but my mom used to make her ice tea using Lipton’s loose tea, since that’s the way she was taught, with pure lemon juice. Since moving to England, I mix my tea bags. I use something called PG Tips or Tetley’s tea bags with an Earl Grey. So good if you like Earl Grey. Btw, I’m the only one that drinks ice tea, since my husband thinks I’m a heathen drinking tea cold! A lot of Brits think tea should be hot NOT cold! Lol!
    I usually make my macaroni and cheese as a side dish with either meatloaf, or fried chicken. Also with barbecued chicken.
    Definitely give your recipe a go, sounds delicious, especially adding dry mustard. I guess it gives it a zing!
    Thank you for your vlog, sounds delicious as all your recipes!
