Season 3 Premier! Ambitious Kitchen with Monique Volz

Hey Sis, Eat This

We’re back from our summer hiatus, and Season 3 of Hey Sis, Eat This is kicking off stronger than ever!

To launch this exciting new season, we’re joined by none other than Monique Volz—blogger, media personality, and now, cookbook author of The Ambitious Kitchen.

Monique, whose middle name might as well be "Ambitious," shares the story behind her rise to success. She started Ambitious Kitchen while still in college, channeling her love for baking and recipe development as a way to cope with the loss of her father and navigate her own journey with an eating disorder. Through her blog, she was able to heal and transform her relationship with food.

With her signature drive—something she credits to her stylish, feisty, and “boot-scootin'” grandmother, Nana—Monique has added “cookbook author” to her ever-growing list of achievements. Courtney and Whitney eagerly dove into an advance copy of The Ambitious Kitchen and spent a weekend testing recipes. The verdict? Monique knows exactly what she’s doing in the kitchen!

Monique also opens up about the biggest inspiration in her life: her incredible mother, Lynn. A single mom who juggled three jobs while ensuring her kids had home-cooked meals, Momma Lynn inspired Monique’s passion for food by teaching her about ingredients, often using encyclopedias, and always experimenting with new recipes.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Momma Lynn continues to influence Monique’s cooking today, how she shaped the new cookbook, and which recipes are Monique’s personal favorites. To find out which recipe Monique declares the PD (Panty Dropper) of the book, tune in now!!
