Homemade Marshmallows {without using corn syrup!}
These have been a long time coming. For years, the search for decent homemade marshmallows without all the junk (I’m looking at you, Corn Syrup), has eluded me. Maybe I wasn’t looking in the right place, or maybe the people I knew...
Egg Roll in a Bowl
Do you have a meal that you always find yourself coming back to over and over again? Well, that’s THIS recipe for both myself and Mountain Man. Every weekend, I plan out our menu for the upcoming week. And this past meal planning session, I was searching...
Immune Boosting Gummies
Do you have kids that can’t keep their fingers out of their mouths? Y’all…I have three kids and I can honestly say the thing that grosses me out more than all the vomit and other bodily functions that have graced me with their presence, is...
No-Bake Granola Bites
I’m back! Let’s recap, shall we?
Y’all, it’s been way too long since I last sat down and put fingers to keys. But I’ve got the writing bug… and seriously, after the year we’ve had and the things I’ve added to my plate that make my days exponentially more...
We didn’t start the Fire.
Hello. I’d like to (re) introduce myself. My name is Brenna. I’m mama to 3 kiddos, wife to my amazing bearded Mountain Man, Jesus freak, food-lover, essential oil fanatic, and the occasional blogger. I fail. Daily. Case in...
{Copycat Olive Garden} Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo
Y’all, can I be real with you for a moment? One of the things I miss most, since changing our diets, is getting to eat at places like Olive Garden. I mean, that dressing?! Good gracious, that stuff is amazing. But Lord have mercy, if it isn’t...
Homemade Elderberry Syrup
Coughs, sniffles, fevers…all around general yuckiness. I think we can all agree that this current sick season is one of the worst we’ve seen in a while. Everyone around us is dropping like flies. And I’m over here like… Seriously. I...
Homemade Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter… it’s a staple in our house. Wait, wait, wait. Let me back up. First, I owe you all an apology. I’ve been MIA for what seems like FOR-EV-ER. Anyone else just say that in their heads, like Squints, from “The...About Feisty Girl
Hi! I’m Brenna Jo! I’m the Feisty Girl who runs this joint along with my über talented (and bearded) hubby, Mountain Man. We have 3 kiddos (J-Man, The Nugget, and Little Miss T). Former NC residents, we relocated to Montana back in 2018. We jumped headfirst into the Homeschool scene during covid, and started Grace River Homeschool in the Fall of 2020. With all the changes happening in the world, we decided we wanted to be as self-sufficient as possible, so we bought chickens and are trying our hands at growing some of our own food. Thanks for stopping by! Take a look around, and let’s chat about food, natural wellness, Jesus, homeschool, or really anything to do with kids, FRIENDS (yes, the best show on the face of the Earth), or life!
