Freedom
It’s official….after months of going back and forth on starting my blog, and wondering if people will actually read it, or even care what I have to say…I took the plunge! So welcome to my first official blog post! Now please bear with me, as I...
Father’s Day
I feel bad right now, that I am writing a post for Father’s Day, but completely neglected Mother’s Day. Not really sure why…maybe I just felt too overwhelmed and scattered (as is the life of a mom) to really stop and take time to reflect on my short...
Easy Coconut Rolls
One day, several months ago, Mountain Man brought home some healthy snacks he found at our local health food store. They were pureed dates, rolled in shredded coconut. They went over with flying colors with him and the boys (I do not enjoy the texture of raw coconut,...
Honey-Garlic Chicken & Rice
You. Guys. Are. Gonna. Love. This. You know, I spend a lot of my down time perusing Pinterest doing serious research on new recipes to try, ways to convert them into our Real Food lifestyle, and then taking what I’ve learned and putting it into action in my...
One-Pot Penne Pasta
Anyone else needing some comfort food on these dreary days we’ve been having? As much as I know we need the rain, it still puts me in a bummer of a mood some days. And what better way to feel better than to cook and eat something delicious? But to keep things...
Cheesy Zucchini Sticks
I just love how Pinterest is littered with “kid friendly” recipes that say things like, “I arranged these fruits and veggies in a funny face and my picky eater gobbled them right up”, or “These zucchini tots look and taste just like tater...Our Real Food Journey….so far
You know what? I must really love you guys. Why, you ask? Because I’m about to talk (in great detail) about our real food journey, and my weight loss stats (with pictures) to date. I’m a little torn about my feelings on this post. Am I excited to talk...
Crustless Veggie Quiche
I’m just gonna get real with you all for a minute. You know me, and if you haven’t been able to tell, I like easy recipes. I mean, really, really easy. In fact, I used to make this quiche recipe with a homemade “easy” crust, and loved it. But...
Crunchy Mama’s Banana Bread
Ever since I was a little girl, my Grandmother has always had a special place in my heart. I was her “Precious Princess”, and we were the best of pen pals. Growing up, we lived in separate states, so hand written and mailed letters were fairly frequent....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!
