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

PollyMarch 24, 2023July 15, 2025

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

PollyFebruary 11, 2023August 16, 2025

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,…

Millie’s Strawberry Lemonade

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…

Minty Malty Hot Chocolate

PollyDecember 20, 2021January 13, 2026

You HAVE to try this!  It’s delicious, and it’s mild and smooth and warm and comforting, and sooooo Christmas-y! I don’t know about you, but I don’t like bitter hot chocolate (Starbucks), and I don’t like hot chocolate that is so…

Fresh Corn Soup

PollyOctober 2, 2019February 5, 2026

This is such a plain and simple recipe, it’s hard to believe such a good tasting soup comes out of it! The ingredient list for this soup is so ordinary that it’s hard to imagine the exceptional taste.  Been there,…

Sweet Chili-Citrus Shrimp with Sugar Snap Peas

PollyMay 4, 2019July 18, 2025

Not every published recipe works, and that’s a pet peeve of mine. Recently my Cookbook Club received the galley proofs for a soon-to-be-published cookbook. We cooked 19 recipes from the cookbook. Not one worked as written! Not one! Quantities didn’t…

Atlantic Beach Lemon Pie

PollyJuly 8, 2017March 7, 2026

It’s citrusy, and it’s salty, and it’s creamy, and it’s tangy, and it’s delicious. Ever heard of Atlantic Beach Lemon Pie? I hadn’t either.  I guess this pie had been a big deal back in North Carolina in the 50s (Crook’s…

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!
