The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Happy Sunday, friends! ☀️

What a crazy weekend it has been! My to-do list was a mile long, but somehow, I managed to get everything done ✅ and still had time to finish book #19 for the year—and even start #20! 📚 I also checked out the new Starbucks that opened 2 miles from my house!

With the warmer weather rolling in, Crockpot Sunday won’t be happening every single week. Don’t panic! 😱 I’ll still be sharing my kitchen adventures, they just might look a little different from time to time!

On today’s menu: 🍽️
I whipped up a Mushroom and Spinach Cauliflower Rice dish with baked chicken! 🍄🌱🍗 It was fairly simple to make and absolutely delicious. I doubled the recipe so I would have plenty of leftovers for lunches this week. You can check out the recipe at the link below!

I also prepped a Cottage Cheese Egg Bake for breakfasts. 🍳 This time, I switched things up and added spinach instead of asparagus—can’t wait to dig into it!

The weather has been amazing today, so Bella and I made the most of it with a nice long mile walk and two shorter walks as well. 🐾🚶‍♀️ I even braved the swampy mess that is my backyard to mow the lawn for the first time this year. 🌱

Fun fact: I never realized how loud a lawnmower is until today! Holy loud, Batman! 🦇 Next time, I think I’ll skip wearing my hearing aids while mowing. Between the noise and my soaked sneakers (and socks!) 👟💦 I was very happy to call it a day out there!

Now, Bella and I are finally settling in to watch some TV and relax before what’s sure to be a crazy week ahead. 📺✨

Wishing you all a restful Sunday night and a great start to your week!
