She used Instagram to document food she was eating as she began healing from a 15 + year eating disorder that no one knew about. At the time, she was a practicing lawyer, using food to cope with the stress and demands of her chosen career. At the time, Nicole’s definition of “healthy” was a diet consisting solely of plain salads, bland chicken breast, green juice, and KALE—and so, the name “Kalejunkie” was born. But over time, her relationship with food began to shift. Nicole realized that within the definition of “healthy,” there is room for all foods, way beyond just salads and green juice and kale, and that limiting entire food groups was not sustainable. It was SAD! And so, her love affair with recipe development began. Nicole spent hours upon hours in the kitchen creating easy, accessible, and super flavorful recipes, with lots of healthy desserts included. In October 2022, her first cookbook, Love To Eat, was published with Ten Speed Press/Penguin Randomhouse. This book served to inspire others heal their relationship with food and love to eat. These days, Nicole is serving up vibrant, elevated dishes to her social media community of over 3M combined and is regularly featured on Good Morning America, Feed Feed, Tastemade, and other large media outlets and publications.
