Great Escape: Take a Cooking Class

Many parents often find themselves in the kitchen preparing meals for the family, which can start to feel more like work.

Treat yourself with a session at and cook for fun for a change. Whether going by yourself to meet new people or going along with a group of friends, not only can a cooking class be an escape, but it's a lesson you can take back home with you.

The next class is "Girls Night Out — Cocktail Party," which will be held Tuesday, March 15 from 7-10 p.m. Learn how to make pomelo-mint mojitos, starlights, mini baked cheesecakes with fresh fruit topping, caramelized onion and fresh thyme tarts, and a whole lot more! The class is $99.
