Tiffani Thiessen honors grandmother with butterfly tattoo tribute alongside mother

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tiffani Thiessen commemorated her grandmother by getting a tattoo, and she was accompanied by her mother, Robyn Ernest. Together, they chose to have butterflies inked just below their wrists as a tribute.

'The cookbook' author wrote on Instagram, with the video showing her tattoo, “Countdown to 50 continues- I got this stunning new tattoo from @cachotattoo It was truly special because I have always had a beautiful bond with my grandmother and she loved butterflies. My mom and I both dedicated these tattoos to her.”

“She believed that butterflies symbolize transformation and rebirth and that after she left the human world, she would continue to show us she was with us in this form 🦋,” Tiffani added.

Tiffani on the symbolic significance of the butterfly 

Tiffani Thiessen clarified the significance of selecting a butterfly for the tattoo, stating, "It also feels appropriate as I sense a new phase of transformation, especially as I approach the age of 50."

In 2022, the mother-daughter pair once again opted for matching tattoos on their arms. This marked another instance of Tiffani and her mom sharing this meaningful experience.

Reflecting on the occasion, Tiffani captioned the post, "A memorable day with my sweet mom. Thank you @cachotattoo for giving us this special gift #i❤️uttaf," showcasing their heart tattoos.

In October, Tiffani Thiessen was featured in an interview with 'Self,' where she discussed her comfort food choice when feeling nostalgic.

She shared, "At the start of COVID, my daughter made the decision to watch every single episode—even the movies."

“I didn’t sit and watch a lot of it with her, but I would come in and out and be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I remember that!’ The fact that I have actual snippets of television that can bring me back like that is kind of cool,” she added.

Tiffani continued, “I was meal planning a little differently, and it got me thinking of how I was raised. My family didn’t have a ton of money, so my mom was always stretching food to fit our budget."

"I remember her making roasted chicken and then using it for enchiladas the next day and always repurposing leftovers for something totally new,” she went on to say.

How did Tiffani's second cookbook was born?

Tiffani revealed that the inspiration for her second cookbook, titled 'Here We Go Again: Recipes and Inspiration to Level Up Your Leftovers,' was born.

This followed her 2018 debut, 'Pull Up a Chair: Recipes from My Family to Yours,' where the focus was on creating delicious new dishes from available ingredients in the refrigerator.

In other words, the trash-bound produce into a nutritious stew or breathing new life into last night’s pizza delivery, per People.

“I have two kids, and I’ve always tried to instill the importance of not wasting food,” she said.

“We can really change at least a small portion of that here at home—and that’s kind of the reason for the cookbook,” referring to the fact that 40% of American food is not consumed.
