The picture above was taken on the tiny balcony of my daughter’s apartment, the first time she made this chicken, and only the third time she had ever BBQ’d.

Lemon Cream Ice Cream

Bet you’ve never had Lemon Ice Cream . . .  Not lemon sorbet, or lemon sherbet, or lemon granita or lemon frozen yogurt, but real lemon ice cream—creamy, rich, sweet, intense lemon ice cream. Intrigued? Tempted? I hope so, because I have…

Chocolate Covered Caramel Graham Crackers

PollyMarch 29, 2023January 13, 2026

This recipe is rustic, quick, and done in 20 minutes!  But once made, the bars have to sit in the refrigerator to harden up a bit 🙂 The finished product also freezes well, so it’s okay to make ahead or…

Chocolate Peanut-Butter-Chip Cookies

This recipe is from the back of the bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips.  The cookie is fabulous!  It’s like a peanut butter cup in cookie form 🙂 My daughter made these cookies for a Back of the Box themed Cookbook…

Crunchy Oat Clusters / Granola Bars

Sometimes, I don’t want to cook in the morning.  Sometimes I don’t even want to make toast.  I just want a lovely latte—I am always willing to make a latte—and something on the side, while I casually drink my coffee,…

Pumpkin Roll

PollySeptember 24, 2022December 2, 2025

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…

Pumpkin isn’t only for October and November, you know.  I hope you have an extra can or two of pumpkin puree on hand for the other ten months of the year 🙂  This isn’t a pumpkin muffin, and it isn’t…

This picture shows a frothy Strawberry Lemonade because sparkling water had just been added and it was vigorously stirred 🙂 Once upon a time I joined a Yoga Group. This group had been gathering for a decade or more for…

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!
