Monique Volz founded her food & wellness blog, Ambitious Kitchen, back in 2011 with the hopes of sharing her healthy comfort foods with the world while processing the unexpected passing of her father. Monique immediately connected with readers looking for a dose of inspiration, storytelling and comfort through food. Fast-forward 12 years and you'll not only find a website with hundreds of unique nourishing recipes, but also a dedicated, ambitious community who crave Monique's inspiration. Monique shares everything from her new favorite enchilada recipe and creative take on cookies, to her passion for wellness and entrepreneurship in order to inspire others both in and out of the kitchen. Monique lives in Chicago with her husband and 3 little boys.
