Too Many Tomatoes? Roasted Tomato Sauce!

PollyAugust 12, 2025August 28, 2025

Are you being overrun with homegrown summer tomatoes yet? Then you need to make this sauce! Freeze it, and you’ll have little portions of summer to use as needed in any tomato based dish! After defrosting, the sauce can used…

This is one of my family’s favorite BBQ meals—marinated and grilled tri-tip, on a toasted bun, with fresh tomato relish–yum! I’ve been making these for at least a decade, and the bits and pieces of this recipe came from so…

Pavlova

PollyJuly 3, 2025August 6, 2025

In England, Australia, New Zealand and my house, Pavlova is a very popular dessert.  I am not sure why it’s not only not popular in the US but it’s not even well known!  Pavlova is a quick, light, impressive, and utterly…

Butternut Squash : Little Pieces of Heaven

PollyAugust 3, 2024August 28, 2025

No one ever makes this recipe when I suggest it to them, EVER.   The recipe is just so…odd.  Mere mortals can’t put the ingredients together in their head and have any idea about how GOOD butternut squash tastes when…

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

PollyJuly 7, 2024August 28, 2025

Hannah says it’s the best chocolate cake she’s tasted—I think that’s stretching it a bit. But this cake is quite moist, very tasty and somewhat good for you, as cake goes, with the 2 cups of zucchini, some applesauce in…

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!
