National Blonde Brownie Day 2025
Not that anyone could actually tire of brownies but if you like a little variety, today is National Blonde Brownie Day.
My Body Craves Buttery Goodness
Anyone who tries to make brownies without butter should be arrested. ~Ina Garten
Exactly. Baking = butter. Point blank.
I don’t really know about blondies. I feel like the ones I’ve had were essentially just squares of yellow cake.
Brownies have that dense, chewy property that I haven’t experienced in a blondie.
Any that I have had that were thicker than a basic yellow cake seemed like a cookie rather than a blonde brownie.
Now that sugar is off the menu, I doubt I’ll find a blondie that has the same experience as a basic brownie.

Fortunately, there are plenty of creative people out there creating recipes for home chefs to enjoy and even for those of us who need that low/no sugar experience.
If only they delivered.
I just don’t have time or energy to bake these days.
I have a ton of work waiting for me all the time and it just kind of grinds you down.
Add to that the single-digit weather that’s a bit too biting to really enjoy being out, and we find ourselves in that post-holiday January drag to the next festive holiday.
🎄 That Christmas Vibe ☃️
Classic Christmas cookies are really time-consuming. Instead, make a bar you can bake in a pan and just cut up, like a brownie or a blondie or a shortbread, which still has that Christmas vibe. ~Zooey Deschanel
I was also ridiculously busy over the 2024 holiday season, so I wound up basically working my brains out instead of baking sugar free cookies, watching Rankin & Bass shows, holiday movies, listening to Christmas music and all the stuff I usually do in that timeframe.
Because I have that whole missed-Christmas blah going on, I’m still a bit ambivalent about getting the latest story formatted for paperback. It’s just more work to do.
I’m freaking tired and I want to do basically nothing on the weekends at this point. I’m wiped out.
That’s January on steroids. It’s like a pajama pants, no sled slide down a bumpy hill. It’s like coasting around on a sheet of ice on my belly. Just unpleasant.
I guess I’ll catch up on sleep at some point, but for now…
That’s all for today. Saturday is a bit outside of my usual topics, but one has to stay warm ☘️ somehow…
