Italian Wedding Soup

PollyFebruary 24, 2017August 28, 2025

Italian Wedding Soup is easy to make, and is good as soon as it’s made—no need to sit overnight to intensify the flavors! Not being Italian, I can’t claim this is just like my Nonna made, nor can I claim…

Polly’s BBQ Sauce

PollyFebruary 16, 2017September 16, 2025

Homemade BBQ sauce is easy to make and it tastes so much better that that squeeze bottle of chemicals with a two-year shelf life! And you can use it on anything! Chicken, ribs, burgers, steak… 🙂 The original recipe for…

A Crockpot of Beans!

PollyAugust 2, 2013August 28, 2025

I am so excited about this recipe!  It’s a paradigm shift recipe!  It’s not a recipe in the true sense of the word, it’s more of a road map to a particular destination. A road map allows for more flexibility…

My friend and webmaster told me this picture is awful. She said the steak looks dry. Hmpffff. It might be all that, but the recipe is a good one. Please don’t be put off by the horrible picture! Last weekend…

Photo by Home & Plate I love Honey Baked ham.  Love it, love it, love it! But have you heard the definition of eternity? Two people and a ham!  Thank goodness I have a panini press for grilled ham and Swiss sandwiches. Thank goodness…

I must admit, I make a pretty mean manicotti. I’d forgotten how good it was until I made some on the spur-of-the-moment this week. My manicotti is probably not very authentic, seeing as I have no genuine Italian reference point…

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,…

Meat on a stick! Is there anything better? When I was pregnant with my first child, my cravings were iced tea, tomato soup, and “tasty chunks of beef”! Twenty-six year later, I still crave tasty chunks of beef! This is 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!
