At first I felt excited and nervous, just because it's a new experience for me.However, Nicole, Blake, Megan & even Ms. Ivann made me feel so welcome! I joined in on a culinary class based on sauces, stocks and soups and the guests did an amazing job. The concept of the volunteer is to guide the guests & just be a kind person in their culinary journey This venue is breathtaking, the kitchen is awesome and the knowledge you gain is so worth the experience. I will definitely be back to volunteer again! The guests made: mac and cheese, green bean casserole, kale soup & an awesome salad with the veggies sourced from their own garden Please take a class! I know i definitely want to!

The Kitchen House is a not-for-profit garden and cooking school that focuses on teaching healthy…read moreplant-forward recipes to adults and children. Ever since Publix Aprons Cooking School closed, I've been looking for a cooking school that has fun adult classes. The Kitchen House has just started a monthly "book club" called Plot to Plate where they feature a book that relates to or includes recipes. This month was Lessons in Chemistry so my friends and I decided to attend. We bought our tickets in advance as classes can sell out. The classes are different prices depending on what the class is. The house is in a residential neighborhood in College Park and does not have a dedicated parking lot so I would suggest getting there early as you have to find a spot along the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and given a welcome drink, in this case Cardamom Decaf Coffee because it was cold out. One of the instructors said that normally we would walk the garden at the beginning of class and also eat outdoors but since it was cold, we were going to skip the garden and eat inside. Once everyone arrived (cooking classes can have up to 20 people), we met in the lobby to start talking about different themes of the book. Then it was time to wash up and go to the kitchen. All the ingredients were set out for us and we picked the Veggie Pot Pie table with other attendees. The instructor gave us some knife skills lessons and then we all started cooking, using the recipes at our station. Each station makes one recipe so you don't get to make everything. And, the instructors and volunteers don't show you how to make everything first (like Publix Aprons used to do). But, if you just dig in and start going, it is a lot of fun. We had some questions along the way, like is there a spatula we can use? Or, is this the flour or the cornstarch? The volunteers were great and answered everything in a friendly way. As it said you could do in the welcome email we received before the class, some folks brought their own wine and the Kitchen House provided glasses and would pour for you. I think if we go back, we would definitely bring our own wine. My friends and I made the drop biscuits for the Veggie Pot Pie, which were surprisingly easy to make. We were finished early so we also make the Brownies for dessert that used olive oil and maple syrup instead of butter and sugar. When everyone was done cooking, we gathered in the lobby again while the volunteers cleaned and set up the table for dinner. Then, it was time to eat! Dinner was served buffet style and the Kitchen House split our food for people who had different dietary restrictions. For example, some of the recipes used non-dairy alternatives as some people in the class were lactose intolerant and one person had a mushroom allergy so they got a small spinach gallette instead of the mushroom Gallette for everyone else. As we sat down to eat, we discussed the book more in depth. Everything tasted great and we had a wonderful time. We received all the recipes in an email after the class so we could make the foods at home. I will definitely be looking at other adult classes here.

This facility is jaw droppingly beautiful! Open since March of 2023, it's the newest YMCA in…read moreCentral Florida. I came here after hearing other members talking about how nice it was, and I keep coming back because I love the instructors here! Eva from Zumba and Emelissa from Turn Up Dance Fitness are both amazing instructors who are getting me genuinely excited for my workout every week! It's about a 25 min drive from my house, which is located within walking distance from the Winter Park location, but to me it is well worth it for the talented instructors! If you aren't familiar with the YMCA or just needing a quick refresh, it's a family and community centered fitness facility that relies heavily on donations and volunteers. The memberships recently had a revamp and now have different options to meet your budget and goals. My friend told me about how amazing it was for her when she was a new mom and it's done the same for me and my family - helped us spend more time exercising, moving our bodies and connecting with our community. The childcare is SO helpful for my husband and I to get our workouts in, and I really love both the space and the people who watch the children. This particular location has an area for littles and a separate area for teens. They also have a splash pad that's perfect for cooling the kids off on a hot day. The pool is located outside by the splash pad and they have open swim, reserved lanes, Aqua Zumba classes, swimming lessons and more. This location also offers fitness classes for toddlers, kids and teens that I don't see available at other locations. The locker rooms and bathrooms give off serious spa vibes! The tile and finishes were done so well. My only gripe is that there is no sauna or steam room at this location. There are also family restrooms with individual bathrooms separate from the locker rooms. The weight room at this facility is huge, open and airy. The studios used for classes are really beautiful with wood floors, big floor to ceiling windows and a large mirror wall. I will say, the max capacity is 20 for classes, so make sure you sign up in advance and show up early. The rooms should be a bit bigger, but the designer used a lot of the space in the hallway to house a grand staircase with large LED chandeliers on the ceiling. Form over function at its finest! All jokes aside, this place was done so well, it really brings a modern feel to the Y. There's even a much younger crowd at this location. The surrounding area is currently under a major reconstruction and will soon become a very sought after neighborhood - the Packing District! The Y offers free trials so definitely take them up on the offer, or ask a friend to take you with their guest pass. It might just be the inspiration you need to start a new fitness routine!

I love how beautiful the stairwell is going up to two. I love how much they have expanded their food and beverage line up over the years. The sound tends to be pretty good, the communication from the theatre is always amazing. They waive fees if you come to the box office to buy your tickets. The seats are comfy and almost every seat has a solid view. The box seats are the exception so be warned. The volunteers are always amazing and they are so nice. It would be cool if they opened a second location that served coffee because that line for espresso beverages is always really long. I love the breadth of show types. There's always something for everyone.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026…read more Front Row, Center Tickets to Ms. Diana Ross' Concert Performance I've been to numerous events at the Dr. Phillips Center but nothing beats having the opportunity to see a legend perform within arms-length to where you're seated. And when that "Icon of Icons" is none other than Ms. Diana Ross...well, nothing else need be said. It was a dream come true to say the least. In my most previous update of the Dr. Phillips Center I indicated meeting with and having my photograph taken with the incredible soprano Sarah Brightman was an entertainment highlight of 2025. 2026 has just begun but I will have to use the superlative "spectacular" once again. As in a spectacular show from start to finish. Diana Ross may be 81 years old!...but she still has the voice and ahem...the moves of a much younger performer. Just think of this, she was performing with the Supremes in the 1960's. I wasn't even born and by the time I was she had 12 number one singles with the OG of girl groups! And she is still working it to this day. Ms. Ross sung a multitude of her hits which kept the crowd, and my sister and I, dancing and singing throughout the evening. However, when she started to belt out Gloria Gaynor's anthem "I Will Survive" that really got the audience out of their seats. An Icon singing and Iconic piece of music is an experience second to none. Ms. Ross, you and your mark on music history is unmatched...blessings to you and your family!

We also printed a poster, among other things.
