Recipes from My Kitchen

Along with my passion for stamping and paper crafting, another passion of mine has always been cooking.🥰

Cooking is one of my love languages. I love gathering people around the table, trying new recipes, pulling a loaf of bread from the oven, and preserving the flavours of the season to enjoy throughout the year.

For many years, I shared tried-and-true recipes here on my blog — everything from soups and chowders to baked treats, breads, slow cooker meals, preserves, and family favourites.

You’ll now find me sharing recipes, baking, gardening, preserving, and everyday life here in rural Nova Scotia on my Simply Serene with Tina YouTube channel.

If you’d like to come along for the visit, I’d love to have you join me:


Here Are a Few Recipes I Think You’ll Enjoy

There’s something so cheerful about a good lemon loaf. Soft, moist, and topped with a sweet lemon glaze, it’s the perfect little treat for an afternoon coffee break or a visit with friends. This is my mom’s recipe, and it’s been a favourite in our family for years. Everyone who tries it loves it, and I think you will too!

This ham and cheese quiche is one of those recipes that’s equally good for brunch, lunch, or supper. In this video, I’m sharing my buttery homemade crust along with the simple way I like to pan-fry my home-canned potatoes until they’re golden brown and delicious.

Mustard pickles have been a staple in Maritime kitchens for generations, and for good reason. Made with garden vegetables and a rich mustard sauce, they’re a delicious way to enjoy the flavours of summer long after the growing season has ended.

These biscuit cinnamon rolls come together in no time and are perfect when you’re looking for a quick homemade treat. Soft, sweet, and topped with a simple glaze, they’re always a hit around our house.

This is one of those simple recipes that never goes out of style. Pop everything into the slow cooker, let it do the work, and enjoy a hearty meal that brings everyone to the table. Hands down, this is my favourite slow-cooker recipe!

Having jars of potatoes on the pantry shelf makes meal preparation so much easier. In this video, I’m sharing my process for home-canning potatoes along with a few of the ways I like to use them in our everyday meals.
