    New Look New Menu at California Pizza Kitchen @calpizzakitchen #NEWCPK

    Just in time for the New Year, California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) in Las Vegas – both the Fashion Show and Town Square locations – are officially unveiling a new menu and new look!  This is one of the first locations in the county to get the “Next Chapter” makeover taking place at 80 CPK locations nationwide in 2016.  I was so excited to visit CPK at Town Square with my husband and see their new reimagined menu.  We haven’t been to CPK since New York at least 2 years ago and want to see the new menu items, plus our long time favorites.   We ended up ordering Spinach Artichoke Dip (just ok), the Original Hand Tossed Pizza with pepperoni and black olive (Awesome) and the Farmer’s Market soup (Amazing) + I had the Coconut Blossom cocktail (yummy).

    Some of the highlights of the new design and menu include:

    • Sustainable materials, rustic décor, fabrics from recycled materials and a natural herb garden.
    •  A menu showcasing seasonal dishes, locally sourced ingredients and globally inspired flavors. New dishes include fire-grilled rib-eye and roasted halibut baked in the open-hearth oven.

    California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), the authority in creative dining with a California vibe, announced the arrival of its new and vastly expanded menu, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients, inventive main plates, hand-crafted cocktails and customizable Lunch Duos, to its Fashion Show Mall location. Along with a modern and inviting new look, the Fashion Show Mall restaurant is among the first in the country to feature CPK’s “Next Chapter” menu and dining experience, gradually rolling out to CPK locations across the country.

    “We are upping our game with this transformation, which we call The Next Chapter,” said G. J. Hart, CEO of California Pizza Kitchen. “We’ve taken the best of our history and soul, and innovated to make it current for today’s sophisticated guest. The new look, menu and experience create a space to relax and unwind in a welcoming neighborhood environment.”

    CPK Fashion Show Mall General Manager Dena Tecson added, “Our new menu offers fresh seasonal dishes, locally sourced ingredients and globally inspired flavors. We’re excited to incorporate all these delicious new dishes to our menu.”

     

    Globally inspired flavors, from small plates to mains

    The adventurous new menu includes CPK’s signature hand-tossed pizza favorites like the iconic Original BBQ Chicken Pizza with inventive new options in appetizers, salads, sides and seasonal dishes, like the Brussels + BaconFlatbread, with sweet caramelized onions, Nueske’s Applewood-smoked bacon, creamy goat cheese, Romano and cracked black pepper atop hand-stretched dough, cooked in the open-hearth oven. New main plates include a Fire-GrilledRibeye with Pinot Noir sea salt and topped with creamy bleu cheese butter, served with roasted fingerling potatoes and lemon-garlic arugula salad; as well as Hearth-Roasted Halibut, wild caught from Alaska and roasted on a cedar plank with butternut squash farro, grilled asparagus and baby kale.

    Unique & spirited hand-crafted cocktails

    CPK Fashion Show Mall will also feature a creative new menu of hand-crafted cocktails highlighting premium alcohols and fresh juices, purees and herbs.

    Picking up the pace with new Lunch Duos

    For a quick and satisfying lunch, CPK is introducing Lunch Duos, where guests can pair lunch-sized versions of a favorite pizza or sandwich and a soup or salad. Lunch Duos give guests a great value, with more than 80 fresh, made-to-order options to mix, match and enjoy in the middle of their time-challenged days.

    Modern, rustic design with a focus on sustainable materials

    Sustainable materials are a guiding factor in the Next Chapter design. The warm, rustic décor features oak floors, tabletops and chairs made from reclaimed wood, stone countertops, fabrics and décor made from recycled materials, a natural herb garden and artwork that celebrates local landmarks in Las Vegas. The centerpiece of CPK Fashion Show Mall is the open kitchen, where guests can watch menu items prepared from scratch and artisan pizzas hand-tossed in the air before baking in the open-hearth oven.

    Glytone: Getting Serious About Anti-aging Serum

    Sooner or later, sun exposure, pollution and stress—to say nothing of the inevitable natural aging process—all leave their mark on our skin. A tired, washed-out complexion, lines that seem noticeably deeper and an overall loss of radiance are a few of the inescapable signs that you may see when you look in the mirror. But why not look on the bright side? OurGlytone Anti-aging Serum ($120 / 1 Fl. Oz.) from the high-performing Antioxidant range, a collection of technologically-advanced skin rejuvenators powered with high concentrations of time-released, stabilized Vitamins C and E and Red Tea Flavonoids for exceptional antioxidant protection, can give you a considerable edge in reclaiming your glow and significantly reducing the visible signs of aging. Much more than “icing on the cake,” a good age-defying serum is now recommended by top dermatologists as essential to any effective anti-aging skin care regimen.

    image007

    “Many creams basically target the skin cells that are in the upper layers, closer to the surface of the skin,” says Jeannette Graf, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, NY. “A serum, however, is made up of highly concentrated, targeted ingredients designed to penetrate immediately into the deeper layers of the skin.” An important advantage: “Depending on the serum, you can get various degrees of high-performance anti-aging active ingredients,” says Dr. Graf. “And when you apply a moisturizer over serum, this enhances the benefits of both the serum and the moisturizer for optimal results.” What should you look for when scoping out serums?

    “You want a serum that is formulated to step up the production of collagen, the protein fiber essential to giving skin the support it needs to stay firm and supple,” says Dr. Graf. “You also want protection against free radical damage to help protect existing collagen from aging.” Keep in mind that sunlight isn’t the only environmental aggressor that can unleash free radicals. Pollution, cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes from cars, trucks and buses, stress and even intensive exercise are also triggers.

     image004

    A few drops of Glytone Anti-aging Serum smoothed on the face and neck every morning deliver powerful antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. For optimal benefits, apply it under your broad-spectrum sunscreen. Formulated for normal to oily complexions, our silky, lightweight serum features a synergistic combination of clinically-proven ingredients, including the antioxidant powerhouse, Red Tea Flavonoids (Rooibos), proven to be 30% more effective than green tea to offset everyday environmental damage.

    Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, the most technologically advanced form of time-released Vitamin C, is more efficient at improving collagen synthesis and free radical protection than the standard form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).Patented Delta Tocopheryl Glucoside, the most advanced form of time-released Vitamin E, delivers higher levels of the antioxidant Vitamin E to the skin than any other form of Tocopheryl.

     

    To optimize benefits, consider making Glytone Anti-aging Serum your first step in a skin-smoothing antioxidant skin care regimen that includes Glytone Anti-aging Cream ($89 / 1.7 Fl. Oz.), Anti-aging Eye Cream ($52 / 0.5 Fl. Oz.) and Anti-aging Night Cream ($89 / 1.0 Fl. Oz.)—all exclusive to physicians. Dermatologists also recommend Glytone Anti-aging Serum as part of effective adjunctive at-home care following the Glytone by Enerpeel® PA (Pyruvic Acid 50%) Peel System, a breakthrough in-office exfoliating peel for premature signs of aging and acne offering maximum results with maximum tolerance.

     

    For smooth, glowing, visibly younger-looking skin, it pays to be serious about serums—that is, Glytone Anti-aging Serum.

    coooooool!
    I just stopped by 7-Eleven before class starts and this caught my eye! Ooooo I love innovative gum and candy. So I just had to try it. Sounds delicious right? GreenApple x GoldenPineapple. Sure beats the spearmint, cinnemint, wintermint, blah blah blah.
    The packaging folds open and the gums are thick and fat 🙂 I like them! They are foil wrapped and very Wonka ‘3-course’ Gum like. *sigh* i love Willy Wonka
    The other flavor out is Strawberry Citrus, i didn’t really want to try that one.
    The flavor is intense and fun.. for like 3 minutes. 😀 The texture is like the 5 gum, that rubbery, melty feeling. It’s okay. Try it and tell me if you like it.
    gum or chips – they say stack ’em stack ’em and I concur
