Our Table…Granola

During the winter I feel like granola should have more oomph to it. This is an updated version I make when there is a lack of fresh fruit.  This recipe can easily be doubled.

Updated Granola Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
• 1 cup hulled raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup walnuts – roughly  chopped
• 1/2 cup almonds – roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2  teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4-1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 or 2 egg whites depending on the egg size

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven 300F
2. Mix first 11 ingredients together
3. In a separate bowl whip the egg whites until frothy then add to the granola mix
4. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
5. Bake for 45 minutes.

Feel free to add dried fruit at this point. Granola will keep for two weeks in pantry or you can freeze it.

Enjoy!

Our Table…Ginger Fried Rice

Ginger Fried Rice

This recipe for Ginger Fried Rice from Jean Georges is fantastic!  Last time I made it I stirred in some cooked shrimp to fill it out.  Whatever you do – don’t skip the fried egg on top, it makes it!

Enjoy!

Houlihan Lawrence’s 4Q17 Luxury Market Report

Excerpt from the 4th Quarter 2017 Executive Summary by Anthony Cutugno (Senior Vice President/Director of Private Brokerage):

“In Westchester County, the number of luxury homes sold ($2M and higher) increased for the second consecutive year and is at a 10-year high. Putnam and Dutchess counties also posted a near 10% gain in luxury sales ($1M and higher). By all measures, demand is healthy, but the influx of new listings in the past several years has created an imbalance of more luxury homes than can be absorbed by the current pool of buyers. The scales are tipped in favor of buyers who know what they want at a price that reflects their definition of value. The data indicates there is liquidity in the market for correctly priced homes and the bottleneck of luxury listings will thin when sellers and buyers define value similarly.”
