The Devious Maids producer’s commitment to healthy eating isn’t limited to what she makes forJose. “I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much, and Ifeel like L.A. is a place that can support healthy living,” she continued. “Ifyou go to other parts of the country they’re like ‘brocollini, what’s that.’So, yeah, I love cooking with vegetables.”
