Turkey Dressing/Stuffing

PollyNovember 20, 2010August 28, 2025

Yesterday I went to Costco and Trader Joe’s. Both places had samples of make-it-from-a-box turkey dressing. Did they think the samples would entice people to buy that stuff? What WAS it? The texture was glue-y, the taste was, was…, sigh. There was…

Cheddar Cheese Crackers

Look what I made for my grandson’s Pups and Trucks birthday party, cheddar dog bone crackers! Aren’t they adorable? I think the two-year-olds, and their parents, are really going to enjoy them 🙂 I used a small cookie cutter to cut the bone…

About Me

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!
