I’m Carina Wolff, a writer and food blogger known to most as Kale Me Maybe. I create colorful, plant-centric recipes that are good for your body, mind, and most importantly, soul.

I’ve long been interested in the intersection between food and mood. It all began during college, when I was studying journalism and psychology at NYU. I wrote my senior year thesis on nutritional therapy for mood disorders, and through that exploration, I was called to start my blog and a career in freelance health and wellness writing.

I’ve written regularly for publications such as Bustle, Reader’s Digest, mindbodygreen, fabfitfun, and more. I cover all things under the wellness and lifestyle umbrella, from nutrition to mental health and even relationships (gotta put that psych degree to work)!

Writing has always been my passion, but I’ve amassed a large following on Instagram where I share my nourishing recipes that are meant to fuel you just as much emotionally as they do nutritionally. My recipes aren’t meant to fulfill any specific dietary restrictions. Instead, I focus on wholesome ingredients and a positive culinary experience. 

The premise behind “good mood food” is that food is supposed to make you feel good, both physically and mentally. I’m a firm believer in consuming ingredients that nourish you, that give you the nutrients you need to get those feel-good hormones flowing. But food also needs to feed the heart just as much as it feeds the brain. Food is about creative expression. It’s about joy, celebration, and connection. It’s about family, history, and culture. Good mood food is about embracing it all.

What is this newsletter?

Think of this newsletter as a place to get more than you would on just my Instagram page: more intentionally-created, detailed recipes, deeper writing, more nuanced conversation, behind-the-scenes content, etc.

Expect a free edition of the newsletter every Wednesday with a recipe, some juicy details and thoughts about life, and a list of recommendations for things currently making my life better!

Paid subscribers will receive exclusive recipes throughout the month!!! Think recipes using seasonal products, quick weeknight meals, etc. Plus, make requests, connect with the community, etc.

Why subscribe?

You’ll never miss out on anything! Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. Subscribers get full access to the newsletter and website.

If you become a paid subscriber ($5/month or $50/year), you’ll get all the good mood recipes, plus more!

Having paid subscribers will allow me to focus on publishing high-quality, varied content and foster an even stronger sense of community than strictly relying on social media. A portion of proceeds each month will also go to various food distribution programs.

I am so excited to start creating this extension of Kale Me Maybe, and I feel so grateful to be able to combine all of my passions into one. Thank you for your support!
