I was recently contacted by a SPAM representative.  They offered me a starter box of SPAM products, plus a beautiful hand pained trivet and a SPAM spatula.  Looking at the delicious SPAM products, my mind began thinking of all the wonderful recipes that I could create using SPAM. 

So that is why June is SPAM month here on My Kind of Cooking.  Keep checking back all month long for more delicious SPAM recipes and tips!

To kick off this month of tasty treats, I created SPAM-ellini.  I had never grilled SPAM before, but I was so pleased with the results, that I plan to grill up another batch soon.  The sauce was creamy and not too rich.  The sun-dried tomatoes added a depth of flavor to the sauce.  But the real star of this recipe was the delicious grilled SPAM!  The great flavor and texture of the SPAM, complemented all of the other ingredients, to make a dish where everyone went back for seconds.

On Tuesday, I will post details on
