Savvy with Abbie

So I initially made these Steak Bites about a week ago and they were rather dry (I always try it before I serve it) so I added a few ingredients to the original recipe from HERE and made it my own below. Enjoy!  Ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp garlic powder 1.71 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite size pieces salt to taste 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp parsley, chopped 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp onion powder Directions:  Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp garlic powder and cook for one minute. Add in steak bites and cook about 5 minutes per side.  Once they are done, reduce the heat and add in butter. Stir to combine until it is melted. Add soy sauce, the remainder garlic powder, and onion powder. Garnish with parsley and serve with rice or mashed potatoes. 

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 :)

Has anyone done the home-delivery for groceries? I did that a few days ago and it was amazing. Anyways I purchased some steak during my home-delivery (Food4Less) and found this Cajun Seasoned Steak Bite recipe I wanted to make. I actually made it for lunch this weekend afternoon with White Rice and Butter and it was perfect! The original recipe can be found HERE . I made these steak bites in my cast-iron skillet and OMG. So amazing! Ingredients for the Cajun Seasoning: 1 tablespoon paprika 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon chili powder basil and oregano (just put a few shakes in, didn't measure) 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon pepper Ingredients for the Steak Bites: 23oz Steak cut into 2-inch cubes (sirloin, rump, ny strip, porterhouse, or ribeye) vegetable oil (as much as needed) 1/4 cup butter 2 teaspoons minced garlic  Directions: Combine cajun
