Spam, Spam, Love, and Spam

I love SPAM. What's wrong with me? SPAM was our primary source of protein as we camped up the Eastern Sierras on our honeymoon and so holds many fond memories for me.
Recently I've been watching a lot of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and when I saw his Hawaii show where he had SPAM pineapple upside down cake, my love for that salty, pink, canned meat renewed.
Tonight we're having cornbread and SPAM broccoli for dinner here's the recipe:

1 12oz can of SPAM, chopped up
cornbread mix
broccoli (frozen)
corn
cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
mix up the cornbread and mix in corn and SPAM
pour into a greased pan, cook for about 15 minutes, the bread should be only partly cooked
spread broccoli on top, sprinkle cheese on top
throw back in oven until bread is done.


I'm trying to convince H-man that SPAM isn't all that bad (remember all the happy memories?) and slowly work him up to the SPAM pineapple upside down cake.
Wish me luck.
