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,…

I found two good recipe for fresh peaches this year! This one is the standout—I hope it’s served at every summer BBQ 🙂 The previously posted Peach Crumble Bars are delicious, too 🙂 As you can see from the picture above,…

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, 2025March 7, 2026

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…

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,…

Street Corn Salad/Elote

I’m sure you’ve seen, or at least heard of, the Mexican street vendors—the ones selling hot corn-on-the-cob on a stick? It’s quickly rubbed with mayo, then rolled in Cotija cheese, sprinkled with lime juice, and topped with a bit of…

By Hannah Lineberry, from her cookbook, The Good ‘Wich. Hannah remembers me making these for team snacks after Water Polo tournaments! 🙂 You’ve had to have lived with three Water Polo players who swam on the off season to really…

Pavlova

PollyJuly 3, 2025March 7, 2026

In England, Australia, New Zealand and my house, Pavlova is a very popular dessert.  I am not sure why it’s not only not popular in the US but it’s not even well known!  Pavlova is a quick, light, impressive, and utterly…

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!
