Step 1

How to make ahead. Many of these fall dinners can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. If not, you can always prep the ingredients in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 2

How to store: Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Some can stored in the freezer for up to 3 months (most soups and stews!). Check the individual recipe for complete storing instructions and to confirm if the recipe is freezer-friendly.

Step 3

How to reheat: Leftovers can be reheated on the stovetop over medium to low heat for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, in the air fryer or the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or in the microwave in 20-second increments until warmed through (depending on the recipe). If heating from frozen, allow the dish to thaw first and then reheat.
