This blog post is partly inspired by the movie Julie and Julia ,and of course, Clay Aiken. Not that I am a great cook; far from it (I cook mostly using the microwave). If you like Julie and Julia, you might be interested in reading The Lawrence/Julie & Julia Project
Here's a video link of Clay and his grandmother cooking with Martha Stewart on The Martha Stewart Show: Hot Pineapple Salad (Clay's favorite recipe) in an appearance in 2007. I've also seen this recipe at church dinners and it was called pineapple casserole. Clay also shares some of his family recipes in his autobiography, Learning To Sing
