Strawberry Oatmeal Scones

PollyMay 2, 2010July 29, 2025

My daughter Abby insisted I post these—she said they are delicious! She’s a wonderful girl, but unfortunately suffering from dorm-food-itis. Nevertheless, these scones are good, and they do look pretty!  They’d be good with a Mother’s Day cup of tea, don’t…

Microwave Marmalade

PollyFebruary 25, 2010August 8, 2025

You can make marmalade for breakfast! Honest, you can! It’s amazing! I have made orange, lemon and lime marmalade with this recipe—it’s so QUICK! I was very impressed 🙂 I have had better marmalades (hrmm, have I, really?), but they…

Banana Chocolate Chip Coffeecake

PollyFebruary 1, 2010March 7, 2026

This is my kids’ favorite, so perhaps I should call it a snack cake rather than a coffeecake. Anyway, I made one this morning, and it was gone in flash. Whatever you call it, it’s baked in a 9x9x2″ pan,…

Lemon-Poppy Seed Bread

PollyJanuary 31, 2010August 18, 2025

Bread isn’t quite the right word for this. Yes, the batter is baked in loaf pans, but it has a finer texture than a quick bread, it’s really more of a cake, a cake that doesn’t need frosting 🙂 I…

Bavarian Coffeecake – A Bread Machine Recipe

PollyJanuary 24, 2010August 18, 2025

I remember getting my first bread machine and the thrill of finally being able to make edible yeast bread.  For awhile there I was making a loaf or two a week. I made all kinds of crazy concoctions, and most…

Sweet & Spicy Glazed Bacon

PollyJanuary 22, 2010August 28, 2025

It’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s spicy—we’re talking some serious yumminess here! Take a good quality, thick-sliced bacon, sprinkle it with light brown sugar, cayenne and black pepper, bake until sizzling hot, crispy and sticky—Oh myyyy, YUM. My friend, Jamie said,…

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

PollyJanuary 19, 2010August 18, 2025

Everyone seems to have a favorite blueberry muffin recipe, I do, too! For me, I think it’s the cup of oats and the just hidden hint of lemon that sets these blueberry muffins above all the others. I just made…

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!
