Notes

To Freeze:
Let cook to room temperature.  You can freeze this in 2 ways.  
  1. Place in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.  You can also split it into portions and freeze that way. 
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop into portion sizes on the sheet pan.  Keeping the servings separated. Freeze 2 hours until frozen through.  Place in a Ziploc freezer safe bag. 
To thaw: Place in the refrigerator the night before.  Reheat the microwave according to your microwave instructions or if in an oven safe container, in the oven at 375f for 20-30 minutes.  You can also thaw in the microwave on defrost. 
If you did it by portions, remove the portion you want and defrost in the microwave or place on a parchment lined baking sheet and reheat in the oven at 375 for 20-30 minutes.
