Black Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ok… please forgive me, because I TRULY thought I had posted this. Like, a LONG time ago. Looking back, I see that I haven’t. Nope. I’ve deprived you all of this wonderful goodness. And for that, I am sorry. Our entire family has a massive sweet...
Oven Roasted Parmesan Thyme Sweet Potatoes
What a week! Since I last posted, I’ve traveled back and forth from Boone to the Winston area quite a bit, teaching oil classes and holding team events. Plus dealing with sick kiddos has left the past night or two fairly sleepless in our house (thank the Lord...
Grass-Fed Burgers & Baked Fries
Who’s ready for a YUMMY burger and fries recipe?! I truly believe that burgers taste best, and retain more juiciness, when cooked on the stovetop. My husband agrees, thankfully, which makes it super easy and convenient to have delicious “summertime”...

Homemade Cheese Crackers
I’m always looking for quick, easy (and healthy) snacks to keep on hand for my little munchkins. The Nugget may not eat most things we fix, but he LOVES to snack, so if I can find an easy, non-processed snack to give him, I’m going to do my best to keep it...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!
