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…

PollyJuly 24, 2025July 24, 2025

I love roasted broccoli, in fact it’s the only way I make it now. If I want something a bit over the top, or if I want to show off a bit, I make Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan and Lemon.…

Street Corn Salad/Elote

PollyJuly 20, 2025August 28, 2025

I’m sure you’ve seen, or at least heard of, the Mexican street vendors—the ones selling hot corn-on-the-cob on a stick? It’s quickly rubbed with mayo, then rolled in Cotija cheese, sprinkled with lime juice, and topped with a bit of…

Onion Rings

PollyJanuary 26, 2025July 15, 2025

There are a lot of bad onion rings out there—I know.  If onion rings are on the menu, I will find a way to order them, but I rarely order them a second time at the same restaurant.  There used…

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…

Absurdly Addictive Asparagus

PollyJanuary 30, 2021August 28, 2025

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…

Fresh Corn Soup

PollyOctober 2, 2019August 28, 2025

This is such a plain and simple recipe, it’s hard to believe such a good tasting soup comes out of it! The ingredient list for this soup is so ordinary that it’s hard to imagine the exceptional taste.  Been there,…

Homemade Ranch Dressing

PollyJuly 9, 2019September 3, 2025

I had a rather unfortunate accident with a new immersion blender yesterday.  Ranch dressing EVERYWHERE, and very little left in the bowl.  Ranch dressing on the counter, down the doors, all over me, on the floor, on the backsplash! White…

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!
