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…

Google “Back of the Box” recipes and you’ll get lists such as The 10 Best Back-of-the-box Recipes from Epicurious, or Buzz Feed or The Daily Meal.  It’s never the 20 best back-of-the-box recipes or 100 best back-of-the-box recipes.  Nope. Just…

Weekend Cake!  Isn’t that a delightful subcategory of dessert? According to Dorrie Greenspan it’s a French concept. Weekend Cake is good for anything from breakfast through late night snacking. Weekend Cake travels well, too, and is long lasting—best if left…

Once a year I host a book club meeting at my house, and my night was last night.  The book was “The Book Thief” so the theme was German food.  Thanks to input from the internet, I decided to make a…

‘Magic Shell’ Topping for Ice Cream

PollyJuly 21, 2013August 28, 2025

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…

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!
