Recipe queen, social media star, and the beloved blogger behind
the popular recipe website Ambitious Kitchen presents over 125
nutrient-dense, flavor-packed recipes for every meal of the day.
Millions of readers know Monique Volz's website, Ambitious
Kitchen, as a go-to resource for inventive, flavorful recipes that are
full of nutrition, comfort, and personality. Now, in her debut cookbook,
Monique wants others to find their own Ambitious Kitchen and discover
their own version of health, bold flavors, and above all, the unique
happiness that food can bring to your life. Whether you're looking for a
show-stopping dish to bring to a gathering, a new home-cooked
tradition, or a nourishing meal everyone will love,
The Ambitious Kitchen Cookbook has the answers.
Monique joyfully showcases a balanced approach to health, with
comforting, vibrant dishes that are amped up with extra vegetables,
protein, and fiber. Wake up and sip on a
Glowing Skin Vitamin A Smoothie or bake
The Best Cinnamon Rolls You'll Ever Eat for someone you love. Enjoy nutritious lunches such as
Buffalo Chicken Chop Chop Salad or
Roasty Toasty Tomato Soup with Herbed Grilled Cheese Naan. Family dinner might look like
It's a Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Chicken,
Sweet Potato & Bacon Situation or
Pepperoni Pizza Baked Orzo with Basil and Quick Hot Honey on a busy night, or
Everyone's Favorite Baked Chicken Tacos or
Marry Me Ropa Vieja for a crowd. And let's not forget show-stopping desserts like
Tahini Pumpkin Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and outrageously good
Double Strawberry Oatmeal Cream Pies (Little Debras).
Most recipes include "Make It Your Way" and "Make It Nutrient
Dense" tips to customize food to your tastes. And as an added bonus,
most can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan, allowing readers to
tailor recipes to their own version of health.
As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself a guest at Monique's
table, enjoying playful, comforting recipes that will impress everyone
(including yourself!).
