January 22, 2023 - Celebration Of Life Day | National Blonde Brownie Day

Welcome to January 22nd, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate having fun with our kids and the brownie’s blonde cousin. Charles Swindoll said that each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. Today is the day to make that investment count by letting our kids know how much we love them. Celebration of Life Day is about appreciating the Now, whether it’s a walk in the park together, coloring or reading a book. Kids grow up much faster than we can imagine. And while your children may be racing towards adulthood, they are never too old to appreciate your attention and encouragement. This day is for everyone who loves a youngster. It’s a gentle reminder that the best thing you can give your children is time. Did you know that the first brownies didn’t have cocoa at all but got their color from molasses? It’s believed that these dessert bars originated in Sandusky, Ohio at least 10 years before their chocolate cousins. When chocolate became the norm in the early 1900s they differentiated the bars by calling the original the blondie. This name appeared in recipe books of the 1940s and called for light brown sugar instead of molasses. Blondies have all the caramel sweetness of a chocolate chip cookie with the soft fudgy texture of a bar. On National Blonde Brownie Day enjoy this ultimate way to satisfy your sweet tooth. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
