MyMilitarySavingsI’m so excited guys. It’s time for all things wizards! YAY! I’ve been planning what to do for months and then completely forgot that, hey, we’re PCSing across the country soon. Duh! So my POTTER-iffic plans had to be condensed. There are a lot of wizarding options out there though, but, with a half-packed kitchen, I managed to whip up meat pie even Molly W. would be proud of, some butterbeer fudge, and even some actual butterbeer to drink!

This meat pie is so warm and filling that I know your family will eat it faster than you can say, “Evanesco!”
