The holidays will always mean this to me: All of the family gathered around the table, eating Mom's and Grandma's delicious homemade food, laughing and talking. This picture of "Grandma Cusumano", while not of the best quality, typifies those days (and makes me hungry!)
Her granddaughter introduced her, in part, this way: "Madeline is my beautiful grandmother that I cherish all memories around that dining room table every Sunday after church eating the most incredible Italian dinners for over 40 years. She was the glue that held our big beautiful family together," Food, laughter, friendly arguing . . . isn't that what family is about? Meet Madeline Cusumano by courtesy of her granddaughter, Ria, at AncientFaces.

Lemon Parmesan Shrimp Penne
An absurdly simple weeknight meal. Simple and delicious dish that can be made in under 30 minutes. It is one of my favorite things to make, and this delicious pasta never fails to make it into my meal rotations. I really love how simple but flavorful this pasta always turns out. It's among my go-to quick dinners on weeknights. This recipe is sure to please those who love to squeeze lemon over everything they eat. The flavor of garlic and basil permeates every bite of this pasta, which is savory from the Parmesan cheese and acidic from the generous amount of fresh lemon juice.

Creamy Lemony Chicken Sausage Orzo
This one-pot meal is a great addition to any recipe book. This recipe might be your go-to on nights when your fridge is nearly empty or you just don't have the energy to prepare a fancy dinner. Here, orzo gets toasted in olive oil that’s infused with the flavors of lemon, garlic, and butter before cooking in a flavorful chicken broth amped up with tomatoes and dried oregano. When they simmer, the starch they produce gives the sauce a creamy texture that is reminiscent of risotto. It's a quick and easy dinner to prepare because everything is prepared in a single pot in less than an hour. Topped with fresh Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
“Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.” — Maya Angelou
