Do you love bacon? Well, I do especially for breakfast. Yum! Unfortunately since bacon is not the healthiest of food, I try to avoid eating too much in the recent years. However there are some days when some dishes just screams for a little sprinkle of bacon like baked potato, mashed potato and even salad.  All I need is just a slice or two. So what do I do with the rest of the bacon?

I take each piece of bacon individually, roll it up and wrap it with clingwrap. Then keep all of them either in a ziploc bag or a container before throwing them into the freezer. This is so that when I need another slice the next week, I don’t have to defrost the entire bag of bacon again. It is easy for me just to take one or 2 each individual pieces and cook them.  Of course, this freezing method is not practical if you are able to finish up your pack of bacon in a couple of days.

When I first started making bentos for Lil’ C, I found that I was always throwing away leftover spaghetti sauce. I only needed a little for her bentos and never seem to be able to finish the whole bottle by the end of the week. Then I began to freeze them in an ice-cube tray. They work ok but I always forget how many cubes to use when I wanted to cook. Then I found a better solution - the lock-lock box! (see my bento supplies)

I find the little cubes to be the perfect size. Each cube is just the right portion for a day’s lunch. So now I freeze the remaining spaghetti sauce in the lock-lock box and just use 1 cube whenever I need it. No more throwing away leftover sauce!

I bought my lock-lock box at a Korean grocery store. So if you are looking for one, check your local Korean grocery store.
