Vegetarians & Meat-Lovers: Split Table RecipesAuthor: Julie Hoag
Is your family composed of vegetarians and meat-eaters? Do some of those in your family only go for meatless portions while others love meat? Do you want to feed both vegetarians and meat-eaters easily at the same time? Well, if so, your situation is just like my family's. My name is Julie Hoag, and yep, I'm the vegetarian in a family of meat-lovers. I've had to learn to cook for both types of diets for every meal for the last 27 years so I've had a lot of experience. It's not as hard as you'd think to cook to accommodate both types of diets, but it does take paying attention to detail, thinking outside the box, and a bit of extra work, but less work than being a short-order cook. But the good news is that it's very possible to do! In this podcast, I will share tips, advice, and recipes to help you feed your varied diet family better with less time, with one recipe.

Papa's No Peek Stew, Split Table Recipe for Beef Portions and Vegetarian Portions
Episode 1
Sunday, 18 October, 2026
Season 5, Episode 1: Papa's No Peek Stew, Split Table Recipe for Beef Portions and Vegetarian Portions. My dad got a recipe for No Peek Stew from the school he worked at years ago. It was a teacher cookbook and my dad was also a teacher at the elementary school. He and my stepmom started a tradition for a family party that was coined the name "Pumpking Carving Contest". We all would get pumpkins at the patch then go back to their house to carve the pumpkins and eat stew that my dad made. We'd also judge by pumpkins be listing categories and verbally voting on which pumpkin fit each category best. Everyone won! While my dad wasn't the main cook in his marriage, he had his specialities, and the No Peek Stew was one of this specialities. While my dad is no longer alive, we still keep up the party tradition and this past weekend we had our 30th Pumpkin Carving Contest family party at my sister's house and my middle son, the one who is the cook, made Papa's No Peek Stew for the first time and it turned out great! My dad would take out a portion of the stew before adding the meat so I could also have a portion of the stew without meat, being that I'm a vegetarian. So in honor of all of that, I wanted to share the recipe on the podcast in memory of my dad and all the years we did the party. We are not stopping and plan to continue the tradition going forward. Now you can also have stew and serve it in a split table way to feed both meat eaters and vegetarians. Ingredients: 2 pounds beef stew meat 2 cups chopped celery 2 cups peeled and chopped carrots 2 cups peeled and chopped potatoes 3 small onions chopped 1/2 c. V8 juice 2 cans diced tomatoes, with liquid (14.5 ounce cans) 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Tbsp salt (or less) 1 Tbsp white sugar 2-3 Tbsp powdered tapioco pudding (or pearls) Instructions: Chop all veggies. DO NOT brown the meat. Add all veggies, juice, salt, garlic, tomatoes, sugar, and tapioca to a large bowl and stir. Start with 2 Tbsp tapioca, you can always add more to thicken, or go straight for 3 Tbsp if you'd like it thick. Take out the desired portion you'd like to be vegetarian and put it in separate oven safe metal or glass baking dish. Cover with a lid or tin foil. Add stew meat to meat portion. Pour into a large metal roasting pan with a lid. Bake both containers for 4-5 hours at 200 degrees in the oven....NO PEEKING! At the end of 4-5 hours, assess for doneness of veggies and cook longer if needed. You can add a little water if you want to thin the broth but don't add too much so that you water it down too much. Use your judgement. Enjoy! Great with buttered bread. Triple the ingredients to feed around 10 people and be sure to increase the baking time a bit to account for more food to cook. Books!
