Count us in for Team Spam! It's gotten an undeserved bad rap.

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it. It's got the whole crispy/salty/sweet thing going on. How could it be bad?woohoo LOL spam's worth getting sidetracked for
I did the maple syrup, along with a bit of bbq sauce, in the frypan, and dang - that was tasty!
Tonight, ummmm, maybe a one-pan chicken and veggies thing...
I bet the crispy Spam slices would be great in a pancake sandwich. A blueberry pancake sandwich.
yummm!
So I brought the Kitchener meat grinder up from the basement this morning. Assembled it with the coarse plate (actually called a "sausage stuffing" plate.) Ran about 2 pounds of very nice venison and a piece of fresh pork belly through it. Browned the meat. Added ground chili pepper, red pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, dried onion & garlic flakes, thoroughly mixed in. Added two 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes and stirred. Brought to a bubble, shoved in slow oven for two hours.
Guess what we will have for dinner tonight . . .
Also black beans and corn on the side, and I'll heat corn tortillas to rip apart and use as scoops.
Extra (and there will be a lot!) will feed the freezer.

I had the same things as yesterday. A pasta casserole for lunch and an enchilada casserole for dinner. I pretty much put all the same ingredients, but I played around with the temp and time. I also covered them with aluminum foil for part of the time. It's fun practicing!

Veggie quinoa burger with roasted red pepper hummus, tomato, baby spinach leaves, and baby swiss cheese. Baby carrots on the side - sounds like a baby theme for dinner. 
i defrosted and heated up in the microwave a serving of jalapeno sausage and scalloped potatoes, a slice of bread with margarine to go with it. a slice of banana bread with margarine spread on it for dessert, later in the evening.

I didn't bother making hot cross buns this year. We can't take any to Rick's mother and Rick doesn't particularly care for them. I like them, but I'd just end up eating them and that's not a good idea. So no hot crossed buns. I basically made them for Evelyn anyway. I need to hit the freezer to see what's down there in the way of soup; it's a good soup day. Either split pea soup or maybe some ham and bean soup; we have both. With garlic-parm rolls.
If the chicken thighs are thawed enough, I'm going to make a recipe from Milk Street Magazine, Braised Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Ginger. Epicurious has a similar recipe that is viewable: Braised Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Ginger recipe | Epicurious.com

We ate something like Spam when I was young in Germany but it did not come in a can but was purchased from the butcher. While Spam is mostly pork, very salty and rather pink this had more beef and organ meats and various herbs and spices and was sort of brown but it was not a meatloaf. I don't know if it was baked or smoked or whatever. My mom would slice it and fry it in a pan. I tried Spam but found it too salty for my taste. Then I found a "low sodium" Spam but it is still too salty. Anyone have an idea on how to make it less salty tasting? I like it fried.
I would try soaking the slices in water for about 30 minutes and then pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking.
You've all been having some interesting meals. I now want Spam, hee, hee
and some meatloaf sandwiches
This week I've had a variety of Stouffer's meals, coleslaw, and green beans.
Smoked turkey breast sammies, and numerous pbj sammies. They must be the
comfort I need. During this whole C word thing, I've been missing my mother
like crazy. I'm craving Chicken Ala King, her pureed cream of potato soup,
and her potato pancakes. On Wednesday I had Stouffer's family-sized Mac
and Cheese and heated up a can of diced tomatoes with some seasonings.
I may order a pizza tonight or have another pbj.

I had the same thing as yesterday, pasta casserole for lunch, enchilada casserole for dinner. I put foil over the top to stop the cheese from burning, but it seemed to dry the casserole out for some reason. 
The braised chicken dish was easy to make and yummy Next time I'll decrease the oyster sauce by half. It made the mushrooms really salty but the chicken was fine. But maybe it's a typo in the recipe? The one I have from Milk Street Magazine says 6 tablespoons of oyster sauce which is an awful lot. The Epicurious recipe says 6 teaspoons (2 tablespoons).

I am SUCH an underachiever!
SO...I'm thinking I might fry an egg for a sandwich. I almost feel like cooking, and that's "almost like cooking."
I'd KILL for a chicken pot pie right now, but they're as rare as toilet paper in my local stores. Guess 'cause they're quick, easy lunches for kids not in school. Or comfort food.
