Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

PollyJuly 22, 2025August 28, 2025

Don’t have time to make a fancy cheesecake or strawberry shortcake for dessert? Make this instead. It’s easy and it’s delicious. I can’t believe I haven’t posted this previously, as I’ve been making this since I was in high school,…

Coconut Mango Cheesecake

PollyJune 29, 2025August 28, 2025

This is one of my favorite cheesecakes! It’s showy and special and tastes wonderful. The method for this cheesecake is different from my usual method, but it works like a dream. I’ve never had this cheesecake crack. The only tricky…

Pumpkin-Chocolate Cake

PollyOctober 25, 2023September 16, 2025

This is the BEST cake to serve at this time of year (or any other time of the year, actually)!  It’s a good chocolate cake – a very, very good chocolate cake; it’s moist, and nicely chocolate-y, and made richer with some pumpkin…

One of my friends has been making these for years.  I was intrigued by her pictures posted on Facebook of roll, after roll, after roll lined up along her kitchen counter, and then the comments from a number of people…

Tomorrow we’re making Christmas sugar cookies then heading out to see the Christmas lights.  It’s finally beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! This recipe is from King Arthur Flour, and the photo is from there, too. The…

Blueberry Heaven

Do you ever go into a bakery?  Of COURSE you do!  Do you ever buy a pastry that looks delicious, but then are seriously disappointed in the taste…? And then, to top it off, are you overwhelmed price you just…

Salmon-Spinach Breakfast Roll-up

My friend Karin made this for our Cookbook Club’s Snow Holiday.  I ate it the morning she made it, and had it again for the following three mornings…loved it! She learned to make this from her cousin in Germany; she’d…

Strawberry Sandwiches

PollyJanuary 31, 2011August 28, 2025

I have never seen a recipe published for this sandwich, but it’s one of my favorites—probably because it’s more like a dessert than a sandwich! I have my demons, and all of them are sweet 🙂 I first encountered this sandwich…

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!
