Love blueberries! Love cornmeal! So when I saw this recipe, having bought blueberries just yesterday and forgetting why, I jumped up from my chair (well…, not exactly jumped) to make a special, impromptu breakfast! I saw this recipe on Pinterest…

I definitely need a better picture. Looking for something new for lunch? I have the perfect thing!  This lunch has to be baked, so it’s a great fall-winter recipe. I found it at Simply Recipes awhile back—picture cred to Simply Recipes,…

Meat on a stick! Is there anything better? When I was pregnant with my first child, my cravings were iced tea, tomato soup, and “tasty chunks of beef”! Twenty-six year later, I still crave tasty chunks of beef! This is a very…

Traditional Arabic Hummus

PollyJuly 22, 2011July 24, 2025

Traditional Arabic hummus—how do I know its traditional? Because I learned how to make it from my Saudi and Kuwaiti students in 1981 and 1982. I watched how they made it, wrote everything down, and have followed the recipe ever since.  Well,…

This recipe is almost the same recipe as Muddy Buddies, but using popcorn instead of Rice Chex!  It’s a cinch to pull together, and it’s melt-in-your mouth delicious 🙂  I mean, seriously addictive. I am pretty sure you have all…

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!
