bacon.

I want to talk about bacon real quick.

I like bacon every once in a while. Added to a dish for flavor, fried up with an egg, the usual. It's nice to have on hand but I typically don't use an entire package at once, so I freeze it.

If you've ever frozen an entire package of bacon, you know it's damn near impossible to peel a single strip off the stack unless the whole package is thawed.

So I started freezing it strategically:

Freeze the bacon on a sheet pan in a single layer on wax paper.
Cut each piece in half (not required but I like to because it's easier to store).
Then layer the frozen strips on squares of wax paper and place them in a freezer bag.

Super easy to pull out the exact amount I need.
