The Brownies will change its name after its parent organization, the Girl Guides of Canada (GGC), decided the name is not “inclusive” and “causes harm.” The organization will be renamed by September 2023. “Brownies” were helpful, magical, elf-like figures from English and Scottish folklore, but an email sent to volunteers Nov. 15 said the organization has…
Girl Guides Announce Name Change for ‘Brownies’ Because It ‘Causes Harm’
Blondies, the Perfect Sweet Treat for a Crowd
Think of blondies as cousins to brownies. They are flavored with brown sugar and studded with creamy white chocolate chips.

Zucchini Brownies
When I first made these zucchini brownies in 2012, I declared that I would never need another brownie recipe. That was silly, because you can never have enough brownie recipes, and having a stockpile of really good brownies recipes is essential. But these are simply that good.

Submitted by Megan Baker, Grants Pass, Oregon My grandmother and I have similar penmanship. Perhaps that’s why I pull out the index card containing her “Saucepan Brownies” recipe even though I’ve had it memorized for years now. I like looking at her writing. Growing up, my family would spend Sunday mornings at church and Sunday afternoons…
