Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

PollyAugust 22, 2025August 28, 2025

From my days as a mom of little kids, here’s a recipe for some fancy peanut butter bars. Make them for a lunchbox surprise or a special after school treat. They are not just for kids though, these are really…

I firmly believe every cookie tray needs an old fashioned jam cookie. Those coconut, chocolate, peanut butter, peppermint, gingerbread, sugared pecan concoctions have their place but, in the midst of such chaos, a straightforward old fashioned cookie is just the thing.  …

Glazed Pork Chop for One

PollyNovember 15, 2010July 14, 2025

My nineteen-year-old daughter whipped this up for her dinner—over high heat—in her on-campus apartment over the weekend.  The firefighters came to call, in their big red truck, with the sirens blaring.  She’d set off the smoke alarm—with one pork chop!…

You can make marmalade for breakfast! Honest, you can! It’s amazing! I have made orange, lemon and lime marmalade with this recipe—it’s so QUICK! I was very impressed 🙂 I have had better marmalades (hrmm, have I, really?), but they…

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!
