Celebrating Mothers

Mother’s Day is coming Sunday May 14th . It is a day everyone can relate to. It is a day to celebrate and be thankful for the nurturing love and compassion we give and receive throughout our lives as part of mother-child interactions. Preparing meals is at the core of most family relationships and mealtime is a part of the memories that are instilled in our hearts.

This dish combines a familiar mix of flavours that your seniors will enjoy, with shaped pasta and asparagus to add some special-occasion flare.

May we suggest you recognize this Mother’s Day by delighting your residents with this delicious Creamy Salmon
