Vegetarian Star

Rules of Engagement actress Megyn Price feeds her family of mixed eaters from the garden in her backyard.

Price told Celebrity Baby Scoop: “We grow whatever’s in season, and as much as our garden will hold! I love to preserve foods as well, so I never mind if we have a bumper crop of anything. I’ve gone so overboard with arugula, that we have a wild patch now, covering our hillside. We’ve got the happiest bunnies in Southern California!”

Price told CNN’s Eatocracy that her family is made of vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so she’s learned to cook accordingly, especially during the Holidays.

“In my house, we have half vegetarians and half meat eaters,” she said.

“For the non-meat eaters, we have all kinds of totally delicious, basically kind of like side dishes, but they have enough protein that they could be meat dishes.”

Price’s favorite plant dish is her Celery Apple Walnut Salad, which consists of sliced celery, green apples, toasted walnuts and a homemade dressing of equal parts of Dijon mustard and lemon juice sweetened with honey.

While it’s easy to remember to make dishes for vegetarians in a mixed eating household, it may be harder to actually generate meal ideas that can please everyone.

Stick to main dishes that everyone can eat, like lasagna, lentils and vegetable ravioli. Certain dishes can also be made that easily accommodate the switch between vegetarians and non-vegetarians like pizzas topped with veggie toppings on one half, spaghetti without the meat added to the sauce and tacos that can be filled with veggie toppings instead of ground beef.
