A Crockpot of Beans!

PollyAugust 2, 2013August 28, 2025

I am so excited about this recipe!  It’s a paradigm shift recipe!  It’s not a recipe in the true sense of the word, it’s more of a road map to a particular destination. A road map allows for more flexibility…

It’s summer!  Time for ice cream, and one of the easiest recipes ever posted on this site! Magic Shell! You know the stuff, right?  You squeeze the chocolate-y liquid onto ice cream and it hardens up almost immediately.  Then you…

Peach Iced Tea

PollyJune 8, 2013August 28, 2025

This tea, as is, is not too sweet, and definitely has a pronounced peach flavor; it’s like Snapple Peach Iced Tea, only better!  Make the big-batch peach base to keep in the freezer and you’ll be able to whip up…

Iced Lattes

I like coffee.  No, I loooooove coffee.  Not that hot, black and bitter brewed coffee, but that expensive stuff brewed by the tablespoonful and mixed with steamed and foamed milk.  I have lived with an espresso machine since my ex-husband…

I am sooooo bad. I KNOW I shouldn’t cook like this. I know it, I know it, I know it! But I did. And my little experiment turned out too wonderfully well 🙂 Who knew homemade corn dogs were so easy to make?! I…

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Popcorn

PollyJune 14, 2011March 7, 2026

This recipe is almost the same recipe as Muddy Buddies, but using popcorn instead of Rice Chex!  It’s a cinch to pull together, and it’s melt-in-your mouth delicious 🙂  I mean, seriously addictive. I am pretty sure you have all…

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!
