We were thrilled to host our 20-year anniversary celebration on March 20th with clients, friends, family and business associates. As part of our celebration, we asked attendees for non-perishable food donations in honor of Minnesota Food Share Month. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we gathered an overwhelming amount of food and donated it to the Neighborhood House in St. Paul.
If you missed the party, you’ll definitely want to check out the recipe for Lori’s Shrimp Salsamole. It was a huge hit, and loaded with fresh ingredients and zesty flavor – ideal for an upcoming summer barbecue!
