The time is here. Tonight at mid­night I will enter the the­ater, don­ning my shiny new HP-inspired shirt and a grip of tis­sues to mop of my eyes.

It’s (Harry Pot­ter!) Christ­mas in July!

Well, maybe you like fudge all year round, but I usu­ally think of it as a hol­i­day treat. And who wouldn’t love a hol­i­day pack­age of good­ies from Mrs. Weasley? Seri­ously, I want to be a mom just like her when I grow up…

I have dis­cov­ered a new-to-me bak­ing blog, and I’m hav­ing a bit of a love affair with it. Joy the Baker is charm­ing and funny, very cre­ative and dab­bles in vegan bak­ing from time to time.

As a whole, I rarely use other people’s recipes for bak­ing, but while cruis­ing on her site last weekend, […]

Okay, HP fans! Here is another Harry Pot­ter themed treat that Pot­ter­heads and Pot­ter­haters alike will love to eat.

Before I get going, I wanted to draw some atten­tion to this awe­some vegan Harry Pot­ter blog: Dumbledore’s Vegan Army. Fun stuff!
