Tropical Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

PollyApril 25, 2025August 28, 2025

The biggest issue with this dish is when to eat it! Is it a dessert? Appetizer? Snack? All three work, but I think the best is a quiet summer afternoon on the porch with a chilled beverage of choice. Tropical…

The first memory I have of my son helping me cook, was him slicing bananas for Banana Cream Pie. It quickly became one of his favorite foods, and 30 years later it still is 🙂 This pie has to be…

I know this picture looks a bit dry. The ribs are not dry! I was so anxious to take some pictures I forgot to douse them with the leftover Blackberry BBQ sauce, and then everyone had them on their plate,…

Been to the Farmers’ Markets this weekend? Did you buy a bunch of berries? Time for a Mixed Berry Pie! Mixed Berry Pie is my favorite fruit pie. The orange zest sets this pie above all other berry pies, and…

Bet you’ve never had Lemon Ice Cream . . .  Not lemon sorbet, or lemon sherbet, or lemon granita or lemon frozen yogurt, but real lemon ice cream—creamy, rich, sweet, intense lemon ice cream. Intrigued? Tempted? I hope so, because I have…

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!
