Summary

#26: In today's episode, I am chatting with my dear friend and incredibly talented recipe developer, Monique Volz, behind Ambitious Kitchen. Monique is an inspiration to so many with her amazing recipes for truly any and all tastebuds. She has the most drool worthy and easy recipes to whip up. She is best known for her insanely delicious cinnamon rolls, endless muffin and cake recipes and tons of savory eats. Monique shares her journey starting her food blog and transitioning into running her business full time. We also dive into her past with an eating disorder and how she has grown and evolved her relationship with food and her body over the years. Monique also dives into how she has expanded her business over the last few years and where she gets recipe inspiration from, what it is like working with her husband, getting pregnant and transitioning to motherhood. This episode is packed with so much amazing information and I could have chatted with Monique for hours. For more from her, head on over to @ambitiouskitchen and ambitiouskitchen.com.
