Finding Faith: A Cosmopolitan Anniversary Weekend!


Sorry for the late post friends! 

Monday was my 10 year anniversary, so my husband and I did a lot of celebrating. We started on Thursday with a vow renewal ceremony, then an amazing weekend at the Cosmopolitan. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a little luxury for not a whole lot more than a normal room would cost. When checking in I mentioned it was our anniversary and we were offered a free upgrade. We opted for the better view for $40 more, which I normally wouldn't do, but it was so worth it. The attention to detail in the room was very impressive. It was a large one bedroom terrace with a Japanese style tub. I loved the wallpaper in the bathroom and closet! 
Also, there were art books everywhere, the room even came with colored pencils! We even had a dishwasher, and the drawers in the bathroom were self closing..I was very impressed.

We also splurged on a fancy dinner at Sage at the Aria, the ricotta cheesecake was to die for!

Another highlight, thanks to Shana's recommendation, late night pizza at the secret pizza place in the Cosmo. It's on the third floor down a hallway, no sign, you would never know it was there. Probably the best pizza I have had in a long time, complete with a $6 full cup of wine! So much fun. Just be careful of the shaker full of garlic salt. It may look like Parmesan cheese, but it is not! Lol!

Add a little Liberace bling mobile, and the weekend is complete!

See you next week friends! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Creatively yours,

Faith

FindingFaith: Pozole

POZOLE! Something I LOVE about this time of year is soup and stews. I was introduced to pozole by one of my friends on a ski trip to Big Bear a few years ago, and it is something I make for my family every winter. Although she made everything from scratch, I did find a canned option that I love. I prefer the chicken option over the pork. A LOT less fat and sodium, and in my opinion tastes better. The secret to making it amazing is what you add to it.

  I start with shredded cabbage, green onions and cilantro, then add a ladle full of soup. Top with a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and an optional sprinkle of cheese. Finish with a squeeze of lime and hot sauce. (I prefer Crystal). Give it a try and tell me what you think. 

Another thing that my husband and I love during this time of year are mixed nuts in the shell. Something about cracking them open ourselves to get to prize inside feels like home and stirs up childhood memories. 


Can't wait for my next favorite holidays...Thanksgiving! Till next week...

Creatively yours, 

Faith
