Storage and Reheating Tips

Store lamb chops, mac and cheese, and broccoli separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat lamb gently in a skillet or oven to avoid overcooking.
Add a splash of milk when reheating mac and cheese to keep it creamy.
Broccoli is best reheated quickly or enjoyed fresh for best texture.
