Grilled chicken paillard with arugula and lemon vinaigrette
By now you have figured out that I promote one meal for the whole family. I think there is a beautiful connectedness that comes from everyone sharing the same meal
I come from a large Italian-American family with 28 first cousins (on one side of the family!) where sit-down holiday dinners for 85 people are the norm (how, you might ask – organization! But more on that later …).
Some of my fondest memories are of simple family gatherings, both large and small, with long tables of bowls and platters piled high, the laughter of my cousins echoing and the comfort of tradition warming my soul.
