Savvy with Abbie

So unfortunately no move update but definitely some positive changes and we are headed in a positive direction. We went and saw this mobile home on 62 acres of property by Lake Nacimiento yesterday. The couple that owns it has a home by it and wow, the views from their backyard are priceless. We applied last night and Kevin and I went on a short walk and talked and figured, ya know, if this is the place for us, maybe this is what we need - just a home that feels like you are in the countryside (the owners have sheep and chickens!) and the mobile home has a wrap-around porch with their own amazing views. It's a little bit more money but to just sit outside, drink a glass of wine and just look out at the lake, that removes so much stress in itself. So fingers crossed! We really liked it and got along well with the owners. We wouldn't move in until June 8th though if that's the case. I'll keep you updated! Here are some photos driving by the lake on our way home :)

Tonight's dinner was slow cooker Sirloin Steak mixed with soy sauce and other sauces and originated HERE . The original recipe called for mixing broccoli with it which I did not do. I also ended up picking up sirloin steak that had a lot of fat on it so I only ended up with about half of what I expected :( It was still good though and was super easy to make. Ingredients: Sirloin steak sliced into small chunks/bites (I had two pieces but only ended up with one) 1 cup beef stock 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon sesame oil garlic powder white rice and butter Directions: In the crockpot, mix beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, a thin layer of garlic powder and brown sugar. Add the sirloin steak and cook for four hours. I kept on warm for about an hour before serving. I purchased the 90 second white rice and mixed with butter and then added the steak and sauce on top of the rice. Super delicious! Enjoy!
