Time to switch up your daily grind. By that, we mean your coffee grind.

Being vegan just got a little more exciting. Whole Foods at Park Lane is offering a vegan cake pop making class, Sunday, February 9. Class space is limited. It starts at 11 a.m.
When eating is a form of giving back, I’m all-ears. Sevy’s Grill is hosting Hillcrest High School’s 7th Annual Panther Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, February 9th from 9 a.m. to noon. Time to eat up and give back.
