The @veganchefchallengese has been challenging, educational, exciting & inspiring!

I had so much help this month from an amazing group of family members who believe in me enough to help me achieve my dreams!

Not only does @beardedbadger support my culinary dreams by doing dishes & running food to hungry customers, but he also is the namesake of @olivemyhearttn

He is my helpmate every day, not just on kitchen days. He always encourages me to pursue the things I love, even when they sound impossible - like starting a ghost kitchen & joining the @veganchefchallengese to introduce my business to the world for the first time 🤩

Thanks for walking beside me through the challenging times & the easy times! I literally wouldn't be here, doing the thing I love, without you!

I can only win in life because I love you all the way & I know that you love me too!

Olive You! 🫒❤️

If you’ve ever wondered how I came up with the name @olivemyhearttn—here is (a very abbreviated version of) our story:

20 years ago, @beardedbadger met @heidi_l_olive over a 2-hour dinner with mutual friends.

They didn't hear from or see each other again for 3 years.

They began speaking on the phone, just as friends, until one day (after 3 short months) @beardedbadger said, "I know what's going on here. We are going to get married." & @heidi_l_olive said, "I know."

5 weeks later, they were married—only having seen one another twice in person.

17 years after I took his name, he is still my heart.

All of my heart.
