Pasta with Shrimp and Cilantro-Lime Pesto

PollyJuly 8, 2020July 18, 2025

I think we’ve pretty well established that pasta can be an easy, quick, flexible and satisfying meal, right? Well, ever had one with 3T tequila? No? Well, here you go! With freshly made pesto, too! And you should be able…

Chicken Tortilla Soup

PollyJanuary 30, 2013August 28, 2025

This soup is delicious—would I post it if it wasn’t?  Rhetorical question: of course not!—I am also posting this recipe because most everyone I know enjoys tortilla soup, but not many of us have a tried and true recipe in our…

Pho – Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup

Depending on where you live, you may or may not have a proliferation of “Pho” restaurants in your community. If you do have a Pho restaurant nearby, I encourage you to try it out. You’ll be rewarded with a huge bowl of…

Chinese Chicken Salad

PollySeptember 29, 2010August 28, 2025

Chinese Chicken Salad: it’s crisp, tasty, and refreshing! My version is made with cabbage, two kinds, which hold up better than lettuce—lettuce is boring, and in almost every other salad—how many chances do you have to eat raw cabbage? Not…

Chinese Pasta Salad??

PollySeptember 28, 2010August 19, 2025

Chinese Pasta Salad? Is there such a thing? I doubt it—so what is this?! I don’t know what else to call it! Chinese Pasta Salad is the name it arrived with and I welcome all suggestions for a new name 🙂 This cold…

Baked Chicken Taquitos

PollySeptember 25, 2010August 19, 2025

Yes! You can bake taquitos! Who knew? My kids loved taquitos when they were growing up. They were always happy when there was a box of them in the freezer. I wish I knew then what I know now. I could have made batches of…

Green Rice | Arroz Verde

PollyAugust 31, 2010August 4, 2025

Finally, a new rice side-dish; one that both looks good on the plate and is deliciously, delicately flavored. Odd, that you cook the rice in pureed spinach, poblano peppers, cilantro and milk, but it works! Don’t let the name-or the method-scare…

Grilled Fish Tacos

PollyFebruary 14, 2010August 28, 2025

I was there when fish tacos migrated across the border from Baja California to San Diego, California—I know what a fish taco should be. And it doesn’t have mango salsa! No salsa at all, in fact. And, never, ever, under…

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!
