Quesadilla Pie

I definitely need a better picture. Looking for something new for lunch? I have the perfect thing!  This lunch has to be baked, so it’s a great fall-winter recipe. I found it at Simply Recipes awhile back—picture cred to Simply Recipes,…

Chai Hot Chocolate For Two

PollyFebruary 26, 2011March 7, 2026

Time to huddle in front of the fire with a good book, a quilt, and a cup of grown up hot chocolate, Chai Hot Chocolate. I think you’ll like this; it’s familiar but different, and it’s lighter than regular hot chocolate.…

Drunken Monkey Cake

PollyJanuary 30, 2011August 22, 2025

The Drunken Monkey Cake—my third cake from All Cakes Considered by Melissa Gray. The directions were bothersome again, but I (mostly) made it as directed the first time 😉 This recipe resulted in a cake that was too moist (probably too…

Ina Garten’s Sour Cream Coffeecake

Bake this!  It’s yummy.  Not too sweet. Classic coffee cake. Goes well with coffee.  Very well.  A nice Sunday breakfast or mid-morning snack. Or both. Winner, winner, winner! My son likes the two-day old leftovers so much he’s taking them back…

Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Apples

PollyNovember 23, 2010October 11, 2025

My daughter, Hannah, has started a new Thanksgiving tradition for our family, and I rather like it.  She invites our neighbors and friends over for Pumpkin Pancakes on Thanksgiving morning. She suggests they come in their jammies, too! I am not seen…

Ahhh, fall comfort food! I love baked pears and I love an oatmeal rich crisp topping, so I was pleased to cut this recipe from a Cooking Light magazine several years ago. I’ve fooled with it quite a bit, more spices, more oatmeal,…

My new favorite muffin recipe, just in time for your fall weekend baking:  Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!  This muffin has been likened to the Starbucks Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins, and I think that’s a fair comparison, but I like this…

My daughter, who shall remain nameless (so I don’t embarrass her, HA!), has a crazy crush on a French exchange student. It’s one exchange student in particular, but there are about thirty others she’s crazy about if this one doesn’t…

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!
