Things I Love: Bacon

In my house, bacon is a staple.  I always have it on hand (along with eggs, parmesan and pasta) so I can make last-minute Carbonara.

For years I've been a Nueske's fan.  And I still am. But lately I've discovered a locally made product I like even better.  Jansal Valley Bacon has the same sweet smokiness, but it's less salty.  It's uncured (no nitrates) and certified humane.  And it turns out, it's nationally available.

The only downside?  Lately we've been eating an awful lot of bacon!
