Grandma Lawrence is Angelo, Peter, and Elena's grandmother, and Mom's mother, and Dad's mother in-law. She first appeared in The Casserole. She is affectionate and sympathetic and loves cakes and cookies. In one episode, Angelo makes her believe that he loves the recipe for Brussels sprouts but he discovers that she herself has never liked it and together they change this old Tuesday tradition into a gratin of pepper pasta (Angelo eats the peppers in the episode).
