Crab and Brie Macaroni and Cheese

PollyJune 24, 2013August 28, 2025

Whooooa Nelly!  Crab and Brie Macaroni and Cheese?  Over-the-top decadence in a comfort food?  YEP! And the decadence makes the comfort food even more comforting—like ‘died and gone to heaven’ comforting!  Yet another winning recipe from the Better Homes and…

Four Cheese Spinach Manicotti

PollyMarch 20, 2012July 24, 2025

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…

Chinese Chicken Salad

PollySeptember 29, 2010August 28, 2025

Chinese Chicken Salad: it’s crisp, tasty, and refreshing! My version is made with cabbage, two kinds, which hold up better than lettuce—lettuce is boring, and in almost every other salad—how many chances do you have to eat raw cabbage? Not…

Chinese Pasta Salad??

PollySeptember 28, 2010August 19, 2025

Chinese Pasta Salad? Is there such a thing? I doubt it—so what is this?! I don’t know what else to call it! Chinese Pasta Salad is the name it arrived with and I welcome all suggestions for a new name 🙂 This cold…

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

PollySeptember 24, 2010August 19, 2025

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…

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…

Zucchini Pasta

PollySeptember 11, 2010August 28, 2025

I have debated back and forth about posting this recipe. Pros: it uses up zucchini, which is very important this time of year! The pasta recipe is good; simple, straightforward, and good. Cons: It’s not GREAT; it’s good, but it’s lacking…

Boxed Macaroni and Cheese or this recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo? They take about the same time to prepare. You decide 🙂 One has these ingredients… ENRICHED MACARONI PRODUCT (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, FERROUS SULFATE [IRON], THIAMIN MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN…

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!
