Notes

Store your leftovers in either the fridge or freezer. Fridge leftovers can store for up to 3 days and freezer portions are good for up to 3 months. Reheat single portions in either the microwave or over the stove. Allow time to defrost if reheating from frozen. This is a mild recipe. If you'd like some spice, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
