While Aaron’s dish had a great amount of carbohydrates and vitamins, it may have been improved if Aaron added a dash or two of garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.  I would have cut the Spam into thin strips or small cubes and sautéed it in a nonstick frying pan (no oil necessary).  Once crisped, I would add the Spam to the rice and lentils by fluffing the rice with a fork to incorporate all the ingredients.  The seasonings and Spam would definitely add flavor and texture to the meal. 

Even though I don’t have a specific recipe this week, I have a recipe tip that could save some money: try to spice up your rice dishes, chili, or even salad with some fried Spam.  If minced thinly, it could be a great substitute for bacon or pancetta.
