Tiffani Thiessen

Food can change your mood. It's almost like music a little bit, you know? It can break a fight. It could calm a child down. It could do so many things, and that's what I love.

I really try to plan out my dinners in advance.

If you feel like you can't throw a party, just put a timeline together. There are always little things you can do ahead of time - like washing and pressing linens and bringing out your tableware. Check them off as you complete them.

If you have young kids, around 3 o'clock is a good time for a party because naps are over, and little ones can eat an early dinner.

My love of entertaining and cooking truly came from traveling.

I try to plan our meals for the week on Sunday.

I never went to a high school prom. I went to a junior high prom, but I never had the high school prom. It was all fake and on TV.

I was tutored all through high school.

I give advice to anybody who asks.

I love being in the kitchen with my daughter right next to me on her step stool. It's sweet; we're connecting.

I've loved food since I was little.

I'm sorry, but neon just doesn't look good on anybody!

Being a mom, it's up and down; it's a little bit of a rollercoaster.

Seeing our kids' beautiful, colorful art hung on the wall brightens my heart and our home.

Being from California, avocado toast is very popular in our house. We have it almost every morning.

I try to use a balance of the 80/20 percent, where 80 percent of the time I'm eating very well, and 20 percent of the time, I'm a little more adventurous.

I have to say, I definitely picked a great guy. I picked a guy who's sweet, kind, and is a hardworking person. He's a great dad; he's a great husband.

Spending time in the kitchen together with my children, it's huge.

I really don't have a career plan. I like being challenged and thrown around. But it's only acting.

My husband and I have very similar desires when we're entertaining. We want everybody to feel comfortable and welcome, to know they can kick off their shoes and be able to come right in.

Our family is very art driven. We all love to create.

I've always loved to cook, and then my love of it just grew as I got older and started traveling and started entertaining.

My whole thing is I try to balance it as much as possible. I love to enjoy food. I've always said that if I eat healthy during the week, then I give myself more leeway to have some fun on the weekends. And I stick to the gym. I try to go five to six days a week.

I have more zits now than I did as a teenager. Stress zits.

People expect me to be thin and perfect... I'm not.
