Pumpkin Roll

PollySeptember 24, 2022September 16, 2025

One of my friends has been making these for years.  I was intrigued by her pictures posted on Facebook of roll, after roll, after roll lined up along her kitchen counter, and then the comments from a number of people…

Peach Crumble Bars

Peaches are really good this year, which is good news after a few disappointing crops the last few years.  I’ve enjoyed some delicious, chin dripping peaches this summer.  Topping that, I’ve also had success with two new recipes using fresh…

Minty Malty Hot Chocolate

PollyDecember 20, 2021August 28, 2025

You HAVE to try this!  It’s delicious, and it’s mild and smooth and warm and comforting, and sooooo Christmas-y! I don’t know about you, but I don’t like bitter hot chocolate (Starbucks), and I don’t like hot chocolate that is so…

Another photo of mine corrupted, sigh. This photo is borrowed from Elegant Foods until I make my next batch! I’ve been having so much fun with my ice cream makers 🙂 I hope you have one, too! Personally, homemade blackberry…

I belong to a cookbook club, and we meet every month to feed each other some spectacular food and their recipes. Sometimes the meetings follow a theme like “Your Mom’s Best Recipe” or “Picnic Food“. Sometimes the meetings are from…

I make two* no-bake pies in the summer, a Fresh Strawberry Chocolate Pie and this Fresh Blueberry Pie. Fresh pies are quick to pull together, don’t heat up the kitchen, and are crowd pleasers. Just remember to start early in…

I am fortunate to live in an area with some remaining cherry orchards. For a few weeks each year these orchards are open for U-Pick cherries.  Seeing as how we are in the midst of a pandemic—80 days of Shelter-In-Place…

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!
