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…

Chai Hot Chocolate For Two

PollyFebruary 26, 2011March 7, 2026

Time to huddle in front of the fire with a good book, a quilt, and a cup of grown up hot chocolate, Chai Hot Chocolate. I think you’ll like this; it’s familiar but different, and it’s lighter than regular hot chocolate.…

French Hot Chocolate

PollyFebruary 13, 2011March 7, 2026

Just in time for Valentine’s Day—French Hot Chocolate! This is soooo good, made with real cream and real chocolate, and bearing no resemblance at all to that powdery mix in a paper packet. The serving ritual makes this really special.…

Ina Garten’s Sour Cream Coffeecake

PollyJanuary 22, 2011August 19, 2025

Bake this!  It’s yummy.  Not too sweet. Classic coffee cake. Goes well with coffee.  Very well.  A nice Sunday breakfast or mid-morning snack. Or both. Winner, winner, winner! My son likes the two-day old leftovers so much he’s taking them back…

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…

Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets

PollyJanuary 10, 2011July 26, 2025

I know a thing or two about chicken nuggets as I have been making them for two decades with a recipe very similar to the one Sara Moulton contributed to The 150 Best American Recipes. Sara calls her version  Garlicky Baked…

Oven Baked Fries

PollyJanuary 9, 2011July 26, 2025

One of our family favorites has always been our oven baked fries. My friend Mary first made these for me about 25 years ago—I had been so impressed to arrive at her house for lunch and find a basket of home…

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!
