Instagram post 17990378152302352 This Thanksgiving cocktail is really a pleasant surprise the moment you raise your glass, making the start to your holiday feast anything but ordinary. 🦃 “Off the Vine” starts with fresh sage and roasted black grapes that are muddled together to add a hint of savory, warm flavor and just the right amount of sweetness before topping with vodka and ginger ale. 🍇 This festive cocktail is just as awesome as the holiday’s signature food. What are you toasting with this year? 🥂 Recipe link in profile. . . . . #olivejude #olivejudeblog #garnishgathergrow #homeenthusiast #thanksgivingcocktails #sagecocktails #vodkadrinks #titosvodka #freshsage #roastedgrapes #muddled #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdrinks #holidaycocktails #sipping #thanksgivingrecipes #signaturecocktail

Instagram post 17845142089654712 It felt like a crispy sage chicken and roasted red grape kind of night for dinner. 🍗 🍃 🍇 . . Inspired by my Skillet Herb Pork Chops with Roasted Grapes from the blog, this is an easy weeknight dish the whole family devours.🍴 . It starts on the stove top and then gets a little time in the oven for the juices to mingle and the grapes to roast until they are about to burst. . . This savory broth of garlic, shallots, and white wine also gives me the perfect excuse to sip a little (since the bottle is open anyway😉) on this rainy Monday here in Germany.🍷 😃 . . #olivejude #olivejudeblog #garnishgathergrow #homeenthusiast #sage #roastedgrapes #weeknightdinner #easydinneridea #familydinners #sideofgnocchi #roastedchicken #herbchicken #foodandwine #winewithdinner #sagechicken #cookingwithwine #weeknightchicken #chickenthighs

Instagram post 18053464099165152 Our first month in Germany has been about finding comfort in anything familiar while still aiming to be adventurous in all the strange, new things surrounding us. 🇩🇪 . .

Instagram post 17880471079405895 Thank goodness we decided to move our @webergrills across the pond to Germany! An all-grill approach to dinner is fun and almost effortless with colorful fire-kissed dinners like these loaded chicken and veggie tostadas. 🔥 . . . My crunchy tortilla is piled high with sweet corn and zucchini, chili charred chicken, cotija cheese, cilantro, and all the fixings. 🍗 🌽 🥒 #swipeleft to get your drool on. . . Oh, and the best part about grilled tostadas is that they are easily customizable with the best summer produce from the garden or the local farmer’s market. 🌽 Fire up your grill and tell me what’s going on your summer tostada! . .

Instagram post 18046086445163304 Finally sharing some big family news! We’ve moved! . . My husband’s job has taken us on quite an adventure. We’ve left our town in Connecticut and landed ourselves in Germany! 🇩🇪 With good reason, Olive Jude has been pretty quiet as I tried to sort through this change both mentally and physically. Moving a family of 5+pup across the ocean was not easy, but I’m eager to get back into this blogging world. . . . To my followers that have stuck around, I’m so happy you are still here! It may come in baby steps, but I hope you’ll continue to hang with me as I navigate this new world I’m in.

Instagram post 18003377632202447 I’ve always thought feta and mint make a winning flavor combo so I’ve whipped them together for a luscious filling that pairs so nicely with sweet roasted squash and zucchini ribbons. . . .

Instagram post 18049460116104814 Cottage cheese seems to be one of those things that everyone has an opinion on. They either love it or they leave it at the store. . . . If you usually turn away from the curd-filled texture, this recipe just might change your opinion. In my dip, the cottage cheese is whipped with basil, lemon, and garlic until smooth and creamy. 🍃 . . .
