Once upon a time

Once upon a time, about fifteen months ago, I started a blog. On looking back, the focus was much too narrow. It was called "Drive and Dine" and my husband and I were going to cover all the neat places we ate, whenever we took a trip, plus the nice places we visited as well.

With the cost of gas, and the cost of sometimes questionable road food, this has not been a stellar endeavor. Especially with being out of work.

Considering the amount of food I am preparing at home, I thought of changing the blog to be "In Heather's Kitchen", but again, that is a narrow idea. I am much more than what I cook and eat.

I like to do crafts, and cook, and grow things, and travel, and be online, and so on, so forth. So that brings me to another title.

I am going to wake up that old blog, give it a new name, and pictures, and I am going to call it . . . . Heather's Hobbies.

I hope you are all having a great President's Day. One of the foods often featured for this holiday is cherries. In Heather's Kitchen today are oatmeal muffins with pecans and dried cherries.

I obtained this recipe from a friend on Gather, who got it from a blog called Hillbilly Housewife. I have, of course, tweaked it.

The muffins are almost ready to come out of the oven. It is time for lunch.

Have a great day, and I will be getting that new blog up and running.
