Girl Guides Announce Name Change for ‘Brownies’ Because It ‘Causes Harm’

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…

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…


Chewy, Fudgy Brookies Are for Dessert Lovers Who Want It All

My husband and I live in opposite-ville when it comes to dessert. Give me a rich, gooey chocolate brownie with a shiny, crackly top any day. My husband loves crispy-chewy chocolate chip cookies with a passion that verges on a new religion, but he’s positively “meh” about brownies. The solution? I glued my favorite brownie…
