Depending on where you live, you may or may not have a proliferation of “Pho” restaurants in your community. If you do have a Pho restaurant nearby, I encourage you to try it out. You’ll be rewarded with a huge bowl of…

Gringo Grandma’s Chili

PollyNovember 30, 2010August 28, 2025

Gingo Grandma’s chili!  That’s me!  This is my chili!  You’ve probably guessed that this is NOT serious cook-off chili. This is big pot, throw-it-all-together, family friendly, low-budget chili—chili that everyone likes! Chili with ground meat! And beans! Oh, my! A recipe…

Glazed Pork Chop for One

PollyNovember 15, 2010July 14, 2025

My nineteen-year-old daughter whipped this up for her dinner—over high heat—in her on-campus apartment over the weekend.  The firefighters came to call, in their big red truck, with the sirens blaring.  She’d set off the smoke alarm—with one pork chop!…

Who eats jarred spaghetti sauce?  I hope no one! I don’t; not ever. Well, I’ve had a spoonful here and there, so I do know how bad it is—which is generally too much vinegar. I like wine, tomatoes, onions, fresh mushrooms and…

This picture shows just half a recipe. I took one half to a potluck, and the other half I left home for the family 🙂 Another winner from the The Meatball Cookbook Bible!  My elder daughter has stopped by twice,…

So, I decided to go for a pedicure—unfortunately my nail salon is not known for having the most recent magazines with the biggest pictures, so I stopped on the way to treat myself to a glossy dose of gossip.  Wouldn’t…

Holy Moly! This recipe delivers in both taste and presentation! The original recipe stated this is a traditional Tuscan harvest dish, but I know I have never run across anything like this before—not that I have ever been to Tuscany…

Here’s one more recipe suggestion, tried and true, an easy one for your Super Bowl party! On your way home tonight (Game Day minus two) pick up a 3-4 lb. beef roast, any kind—bottom round or rump are fine—just get…

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!
