Blueberry Crumb Bars

For a few years, we subscribed to Raddish, a cooking program for kids. Every month we received a box with three recipes, a kitchen tool, a cooking badge, table topics, and some related educational materials. Each box had a theme:…

Summer Fruit Coffeecake

PollyAugust 23, 2025August 28, 2025

I adore coffeecake. Coffeecake is served warm, so it’s comforting and can be served directly from the pan it was baked in. It doesn’t have frosting, so it’s not too-too overly sweet. It’s communal, shouting out to be shared with…

Still buying granola bars? There’s no need! This is an easy recipe for granola bars and you can make them to fit your flavor profile. What kind of nuts do you like? Peanuts, pecans, almonds, cashews or a nice mix?…

Blueberry Lemonade

Thought I might like this…and I was right! Loved it. The blueberry taste is not pronounced, but the color they give to the drink is fantastic. Bbbb…b…bbut…the lemonade is pinkish RED, not blue! Surprise! Once-upon-a-time we had a delightful 4…

Chocolate-Cherry Brownies (for Grown Ups!)

PollyJuly 24, 2025July 24, 2025

Soak dried cherries in port, then add them to the batter of these brownies for a tasty departure from the every-day, kid-favorite brownie! I love the unexpected flavor zing from the dried cherries 🙂 This is a cake-like brownie, usually…

Apricot Cream Scones

PollyJuly 22, 2025July 30, 2025

This is my all-time favorite American-style scone—no butter or jam needed! The chopped white chocolate and diced apricots provide plenty of sweetness, and there’s no butter in this recipe, but there’s plenty of cream! The original version of this recipe…

Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

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,…

Tropical Pineapple Pie

PollyJuly 20, 2025August 28, 2025

Picture is showing Pineapple Pie with no macadamia nuts, a tragedy of immense proportions. Add the macadamia nuts! I didn’t, obviously, and the disappointed faces and heavy sighs all around the table will remind me not to do that again.…

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!
