Hi everyone! This kind of post is somewhat out of the norm for Sweet & Modern... I love to bake and some of the recipes I share are FAR from calorie friendly. However, when GoMacro Macrobar approached me about trying their bars, I agreed without hesitation. The big reason for that? Breastfeeding. Yep.

Random + quick dinner idea
Hi everyone! It seems rare that I pop in with a weekly hello these days… that's because it is! But here I am! Halfway to 28 weeks pregnant and gearing up for the ever popular glucose test tomorrow.

This is not necessarily an interesting topic. And it’s certainly not something that I am passionate about.

the {BEST} apple pie
Happy Monday! What a great weekend of doing basically nothing (which worked out for me since I spent many hours in serious ulcer related pain! UGH!) BUT... I also got to spend some quality time with my little family and relax. One of my favorite "relax" activities is baking!Today I wanted to share what I believe is the very best apple pie recipe...in the world. I based this recipe (the filling & topping) on The Pioneer Woman's "Dreamy Apple Pie" because... let's get real. Ree knows ... View the Post
