Herby Flatbread for the Grill!

PollyAugust 28, 2025August 28, 2025

We love this! It does take a bit of finesse to cook the flatbread over a fire, and we are not always successful, but it’s a fun project to do while the BBQ’d meat is resting and the coals are…

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…

Coconut Shrimp

PollyAugust 6, 2025August 6, 2025

Coconut Shrimp! Where this sudden obsession came from, I have no idea. I have no warm memories of Red Lobster and their sea captain’s rum enhanced Coconut Shrimp, much less any memories of seaside tiki bars, drinks with tiny umbrellas,…

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…

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!
