Too Many Tomatoes? Roasted Tomato Sauce!

PollyAugust 12, 2025August 28, 2025

Are you being overrun with homegrown summer tomatoes yet? Then you need to make this sauce! Freeze it, and you’ll have little portions of summer to use as needed in any tomato based dish! After defrosting, the sauce can used…

PollyAugust 5, 2025September 4, 2025

This is one of my family’s favorite BBQ meals—marinated and grilled tri-tip, on a toasted bun, with fresh tomato relish–yum! I’ve been making these for at least a decade, and the bits and pieces of this recipe came from so…

PollyAugust 2, 2025September 2, 2025

My neighbors and Facebook friends have been asking for recipes to use up their tomatoes.  I have two good ones.  The Fresh Tomato Lasagna that I posted earlier this week, and this Fresh Tomato Tart were a staple at our…

Brie on the Grill

For years—decades—we have gone tent camping at a State beach in Santa Cruz. We usually stay a whole week and we love it, we have always loved it. Although we sleep in tents, we don’t exactly rough it. We have…

It’s so easy to overlook a simple salad. For all those home gardeners or Farmer’s Market shoppers, this is for you! At some point in the summer, we all end up with an overabundance of our fancy, heirloom tomatoes and…

It’s just garlic bread, folks, but it’s garlic bread with an upgrade! There are tomatoes, mozzarella and basil! After running across this recipe at Two Peas and their Pod,  I decided I needed to make it—now! I quickly sent texts to a few friends…

Fresh Tomato Lasagna

PollySeptember 29, 2023August 28, 2025

This lasagna is creamy, cheesy and fresh tasting, but lighter than regular lasagna—though still rich. Since there are so few ingredients in this lasagna make sure your tomatoes are the BEST; they’re what makes this lasagna! Although this pan of lasagna looks…

Breakfast Biscuits

PollyOctober 22, 2022July 16, 2025

These homemade breakfast biscuits are bigger, better, prettier and tastier than anything you’ll find at a fast food place or diner, and probably have a lot less fat. How can you resist?  Don’t be scared.  They go together pretty quickly,…

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!
