I cook and put in fridge. When you're ready for the next serving, just place what you need in a bowl, and microwave to warm it up.

I am thinking about trying this. This will sound dumb, but when you cook it do you leave it simmering on the stove for seven days or cook it and put it in fridge and keep heating up just what you need. I remember years ago someone told me they kept it simmering on the stove, but that just don't sound healthy or safe to me.
