Storage and Reheating Tips

Store each component in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat steak in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture. Reheat mac and cheese with a splash of milk to keep it creamy. Warm sweet potatoes in the oven or air fryer to retain their crisp edges.
