Crunchy Oat Clusters / Granola Bars

PollyFebruary 11, 2023August 16, 2025

Sometimes, I don’t want to cook in the morning.  Sometimes I don’t even want to make toast.  I just want a lovely latte—I am always willing to make a latte—and something on the side, while I casually drink my coffee,…

Breakfast Biscuits

PollyOctober 22, 2022July 16, 2025

These homemade breakfast biscuits are bigger, better, prettier and tastier than anything you’ll find at a fast food place or diner, and probably have a lot less fat. How can you resist?  Don’t be scared.  They go together pretty quickly,…

Pumpkin isn’t only for October and November, you know.  I hope you have an extra can or two of pumpkin puree on hand for the other ten months of the year 🙂  This isn’t a pumpkin muffin, and it isn’t…

Apricot-Coconut Bars

PollyMay 4, 2021July 17, 2025

Feel like baking this weekend? Try these! They are delicious, and one of my favorite bar/tray bake recipes. The bars are buttery, crisp, jammy, and coconut-y all at the same time and there is a pronounced taste of real apricots…

New York Style Coffee Coffeecake

PollyFebruary 5, 2021July 18, 2025

I love New York style coffeecake. For years I have had in mind the perfect New York style coffeecake, and I have tried many recipes in my search to produce that coffeecake. What I have in mind is a 1:1…

Blueberry Upside-Down Coffee Cake

PollyAugust 28, 2020July 6, 2025

Just a reminder: there’s no coffee in coffee cake! Coffee cake is cake to be eaten with the perfect cup of coffee.  And that, my friends, is what a weekend quarantine breakfast is all about.  Throw in a good book…

Grandma’s Buttermilk Cornbread

PollyAugust 19, 2019February 5, 2026

As a young kid, Jiffy brand cornbread was my favorite and because it was cheap—about fifteen cents a box—it fit into my family’s budget.  The mix only required one egg and a ¼ cup of milk or water to make…

Bon Appétit used to be my favorite food magazine, but it’s defunct now, sigh. But it lives on in all the recipes I’ve made, loved, saved, and reposted! Here’s one of my favorites 🙂 This recipe is for a very…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
