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…

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…

Grilled Mint Marinated Lamb with Pistachio Pesto

PollyAugust 1, 2025September 16, 2025

Absolutely one of our favorite BBQ dishes! We serve the lamb with a grilled, herby flat bread or homemade pita, and a rice pilaf. There’s no Pistachio Pesto in the photo, unfortunately, but if there were you’d be amazed by…

Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers (with Caramel!)

PollyMarch 29, 2023July 15, 2025

This recipe is rustic and quick, and done in 20 minutes!  But, once made, the bars have to sit in the refrigerator to harden up a bit 🙂 A long time ago some friends gave me a recipe for Saltine…

Kipferls – Vanilla Hazelnut Butter Cookies

PollyMarch 8, 2014August 28, 2025

I had never, ever heard of kipferls before. Then, in two weeks they came into my life twice! First, my friend Priscilla made some in the Culinary School Pastry Arts program she is enrolled in. I didn’t try one because…

Frozen Bananas (with or without Peanut Butter)

PollyJune 4, 2011August 28, 2025

I’ve been making frozen bananas for a long time and have decided that Hershey’s Special Dark is the best chocolate to compliment the taste of the banana—odd, since I am usually a milk chocolate devotee. It is also the most…

Ina Garten’s Sour Cream Coffeecake

PollyJanuary 22, 2011August 19, 2025

Bake this!  It’s yummy.  Not too sweet. Classic coffee cake. Goes well with coffee.  Very well.  A nice Sunday breakfast or mid-morning snack. Or both. Winner, winner, winner! My son likes the two-day old leftovers so much he’s taking them back…

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!
