Meatballs – In the Kitchen with Polly

Italian Wedding Soup

PollyFebruary 24, 2017August 28, 2025

Italian Wedding Soup is easy to make, and is good as soon as it’s made—no need to sit overnight to intensify the flavors! Not being Italian, I can’t claim this is just like my Nonna made, nor can I claim…

Curried Chicken Meatballs with Apricot Rice Pilaf

PollyJuly 24, 2014July 10, 2025

This recipe is from one of America’s Test Kitchen 30-minute Meals cookbooks. The meatballs, although very simple with a very plain list of ingredients, are quite tasty. I wanted to up the curry powder just a bit, but my offspring vetoed that…

This picture shows just half a recipe. I took one half to a potluck, and the other half I left home for the family 🙂 Another winner from the The Meatball Cookbook Bible! My elder daughter has stopped by twice,…

So, I decided to go for a pedicure—unfortunately my nail salon is not known for having the most recent magazines with the biggest pictures, so I stopped on the way to treat myself to a glossy dose of gossip. Wouldn’t…

About Me

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!
