About author

Jessica Farthing is a freelance writer lucky enough to live on the coast of Georgia. In addition to exploring topics for Eat This, Not That, she's written for Eating Well Magazine, Insider, MSN, YourTango and many other publications discussing food, lifestyle, health and disability. From a busy catering business to raising a family of hungry children, food played an integral part of every aspect of her life. Now, life as an empty nester is challenging her to take on those unfinished projects, like a cookbook and a thriller novel or two. Jessica spends her down time riding her horses, Henry and Limerick and working off those equestrian sore muscles on her yoga mat. She and her husband Paul are enjoying their dinners for two. Look for her on her website at jessicafarthing.com or on Instagram at @saltairsavannah.
