Good and good for you healthy recipes on virginiawillis.com

Welcome!

I'm Virginia Willis, a French-trained Southern chef and James Beard award-winning cookbook author.

As a post-menopausal woman, I lost 65 pounds and have kept it off for 4 years. Good and Good For You Living is my real-life approach to health and wellness initiated by lifelong struggles with weight and body image. I quit dieting and changed my life.

True health and wellness is thriving in your body, brain, and spirit. (It takes all three.)

Each Good and Good for You newsletter shares encouragement and support to help you thrive with real-life information, motivation, and tactics that work. 

If I can do it, you can, too!
