Savvy with Abbie

I think Sunday is going to be our family cooking day. It was so fun to have Kevin and Jace both help me with dinner. Sometimes Jace will help but with Kevin being gone at work all day, Sunday was perfect for all of us to cook together. We made these Steak and Potato Packets in the oven and they were surprisingly good. I'm going to channel my inner Guy Fieri right now - the potatoes and steak were extremely soft, not hard or chewy. The seasonings really made the meal and brought everything together. Recipe inspiration - The Stay at Home Chef . We did not use jalapenos, parsley, rosemary or granulated garlic. We used garlic powder and Basil.  Ingredients: 1.5 pounds cubed sirloin steak (hopefully you can find it cheaper than I did - I paid $20!) 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite size pieces 6 tbsp butter 2 tbsp basil 2 tsp salt 2 tsp pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Directions: Cube the steak and potatoes into bite size pieces.  Boil water in a pot and place

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 :)
