Pear Crisp

PollyOctober 18, 2010August 28, 2025

Ahhh, fall comfort food! I love baked pears and I love an oatmeal rich crisp topping, so I was pleased to cut this recipe from a Cooking Light magazine several years ago. I’ve fooled with it quite a bit, more spices, more oatmeal,…

With New Potatoes and Seared Asparagus Spears! My friend John, the rugged, he-man, Lake Superior Chef of Asian Glazed Thigh fame, has submitted another recipe. I am posting this now because it sounds like it’s just the thing for a…

Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

PollySeptember 30, 2010August 1, 2025

In our recent Rice Krispie Treats taste tests, these were definitely the winners! I think they won because they tasted the most like traditional Rice Krispie Treats, but were cranked up a notch, a big notch! The browned butter and the sea…

Love these!  There have been a couple of recipes floating around the web for the last six months or so for cinnamon roll pancakes, and I have tried several of them hoping to find the perfect recipe. But it was…

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

PollySeptember 24, 2010August 19, 2025

Who eats jarred spaghetti sauce?  I hope no one! I don’t; not ever. Well, I’ve had a spoonful here and there, so I do know how bad it is—which is generally too much vinegar. I like wine, tomatoes, onions, fresh mushrooms and…

So, I decided to go for a pedicure—unfortunately my nail salon is not known for having the most recent magazines with the biggest pictures, so I stopped on the way to treat myself to a glossy dose of gossip.  Wouldn’t…

Blasted Sausages

Holy Moly! This recipe delivers in both taste and presentation! The original recipe stated this is a traditional Tuscan harvest dish, but I know I have never run across anything like this before—not that I have ever been to Tuscany…

Pickle Fried Chicken! Was it something I dreamed? I couldn’t find the recipe that I thought I had seen  anywhere! I searched all of the food magazines I’d bought recently, even the not-so-recently, and then all of the none food…

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!
