These S’mores Bars are all dressed up and ready for Halloween, but we began making them this summer when our camping trip was cancelled. My daughter, Abby, looooves s’mores and we were looking for something to soften the blow of…

Blueberry Upside-Down Coffee Cake

PollyAugust 28, 2020July 6, 2025

Just a reminder: there’s no coffee in coffee cake! Coffee cake is cake to be eaten with the perfect cup of coffee.  And that, my friends, is what a weekend quarantine breakfast is all about.  Throw in a good book…

Cafe Mocha Pinwheels

PollyAugust 18, 2020July 7, 2025

I love cookies! These are fun, a bit different, striking, and feature grown-up flavors of mocha and espresso. I found the original recipe in the Taste of Home publication, ‘Fall Baking 2019‘ (unknown availability). After my first try, following the…

Fresh Blueberry Pie

PollyJuly 22, 2020April 26, 2026

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…

There are other cookies on this plate, but this recipe is for the large cookie on each side of the plate, the one with either a Hershey’s Hugs or Kiss in the middle. My daughter, Abby, is the cookie-baker in…

Homemade Cherry Pie (from fresh cherries)

PollyMay 27, 2020April 26, 2026

My daughter used to have a cherry tree in her back yard and the cherry crop was always enormous! We were in cherry heaven for a few years and then, suddenly and most unfortunately, the tree died. It was a…

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!
