Make an Old Fashion Meal with this Recipe for Potatoes Au Gratin with Spam

Spam, the go to standby in the "good old days".  I remember my family buying a can or two of Spam every week.  My dad worked in a General Motors factor and carried one of the old black lunchboxes everyday.  Many days that lunchbox contained Spam sandwiches.  We also ate it fried for family meals.  As most of you know I live in North Texas now, right in the heart of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex.  The Texas State Fair is held in Dallas every year.  One of the annual rituals of that fair is the Spam Cooking Contest.  I have never made it to the competition and/or judging, but I have seen many of the products on the TV news.  It can get pretty funny!  A lot of those, I wouldn"t want to try.  But here is an old fashion recipe to bring Spam back into your life--and we aren"t talking computer email spam!  Try this old fashion recipe combining Spam and AuGratin Potatoes and see where the memories take you! Potato AuGratin with Spam This recipe is from an old church cookbook. 6 to 8 large potatoes 1 can Spam 3/4 tall can evaporated milk 1 stick butter, cut into pieces 1 large onion 1 pint sour cream 2 large pkg. shredded cheddar cheese Chop the potatoes, onion, and Spam into fine pieces. (Use a food processor, if you have one.) Add the sour cream, milk, 1 package of the cheese, and the butter. Mix the ingredients together. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the second package of cheese over the top of the mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Enjoy!

Lose Weight Without Losing Taste
You have tried many different diets and they never work, so you quit the diet routine in order to go back to your normal way of life. It seems like you trade the taste of your food in order to loose a few pounds in what seems like forever. Then when you are not able to keep off the weight that you have just lost you become upset with yourself and end up eating all the food that you were trying to avoid in the first place. As hard as it may be to believe some days it is possible to have food with a great taste and still lose weight. But just remember to keep in mind that shedding unwanted pounds involves both eating right and getting the proper exercise.
