Connie, John and Madison always get up early. John wakes up first, makes a pot of coffee himself and ginger tea for Connie. They then wake Madison, around 7:30 on weekdays and 5:15 on Saturdays. Typically, they either have bagels or pre-made waffles for breakfast before starting their day.
Lunch either consists of mixed nuts and a half a bagel, or nothing at all. Dinner is the only time the McGaughys really have a chance to be creative with food. All of the McGaughys enjoy cooking, so they often switch who cooks when. Madison will often make Mexican food, rice, sandwiches and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. She also bakes a lot. Connie and John both make a large variety of things as well, anything from soup to homemade bread.
All of the McGaughys are vegetarian, with the exception of Madison, who is a vegan. John and Connie’s son Nathan was the one who enjoyed dairy products the most, so when he left for college the family didn’t feel the need to buy as many dairy products. The whole family is now, for the most part, vegan, but John and Connie still occasionally eat dairy products.
The McGaughys often go out to eat as well. They aren’t fans of fast food and they have eclectic tastes, so they eat at several different places. Every Thursday, Madison and John go and get a potato pancake and John and Connie often go get Italian food at their favorite family run restaurant. They all like to eat at a Thai restaurant near Madison’s school as well as several other places. Living a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle used to make going out to eat difficult for the McGaughys, but within the last few year a lot more options have been made available. Because of this, the McGaughys like to go out to eat and relax as a family as often as possible.
