Notes

Storage tips:

• On the counter: in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days
• In the refrigerator: Store in an airtight container up 3-4 days
• In the freezer – I like to use the flash freeze method and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, leave out on the counter for 1-2 hours or thaw in the fridge overnight. There’s no need to reheat. If you choose to do so, reheat for no more than 30 seconds in the microwave or toaster oven.
