Cajun Chicken Alfredo
I found my super-hero name. “The Great Food Maker”. At least that’s what J-Man called me today. Hey, it’s better that hearing “Mama, Mama, Mama” for the umpteenth bazillionth time in a row. I’ll take it. I’m just...
Sweet Potato Banana Bites
Pure. Genius. At least that’s what I thought, when I came across this recipe. My husband happened to agree…my two oldest, did not. Weirdos. What’s not to love?! Sweet potato? Good. Banana? Good. CHOCOLATE? Good. (If you just read that like Joey from...
Garlic Parmesan Salmon & Asparagus
First, let me just say that this piece of salmon is not one serving. I mean, it was delicious enough that both my mountain man and I could have each eaten our own giant salmon, but we were good little mountain folk, and split it. Okay, it was more like 60%-40%, but...
3 Ingredient Freezer Jam
*UPDATE* The original post was for blueberry jam, and although it was awesome, it wasn’t a favorite with my kiddos. So I did the exact same recipe, except with strawberries, and it’s been a HIT! You’ll just increase your cook time by about 2...Happy Easter!
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, and I am so excited! Yes, we are a typical American family, in that we give special baskets to our children with a few fun goodies in it, and enjoy dying eggs together. This year was particularly fun for me, because J-Man is at the age where...
Fudgy Oat Bars
Y’all…Y’ALL. These are A-MAZING. First, let me say that I wish I was the one who came up with this recipe. Seriously. But I cannot take the credit. I stumbled across this recipe one evening this week, when the Mountain Man and I were craving...
Fresh Baby Spinach & Carrot Dip
Y’all… I swear, when I tasted this dip, the clouds parted, and Angels sang an angelic chorus of hallelujahs. This stuff is, in short, AMAZING. We don’t have lots of dinner parties, so this will really be a nice little snack to keep handy for myself...
Coconut & Avocado Grasshopper Bars
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Nope, I’m not Irish. Not even a smidge. But my oldest, J-man, has been learning about St. Patrick this week at his pre-school (of course not mentioning the horrific, nightmare inducing part of the kidnapping of Patrick as a young...
Venison Taco Salad
Taco salad night is a big deal in our house. At least for my husband and me…the kids haven’t learned to appreciate lettuce and the hodgepodge of yumminess we throw on it. Taco salads are eaten in our home usually once a week, and for good reason! Not only...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!
