If we’re friends, or you just know me from my blog or my socials, you’ll know I’m vegan and I’m very bloody worried about the climate, what we’re doing to the planet and the future we are leaving our children/grandchildren, nieces and nephews/children of our friends {by looking at it that way, we’re including everyone – not just those of us who are parents!}.

The simplest and most immediate thing we can do as individuals to have an effect on climate change {which, to be honest, can feel insanely overwhelming most days!} is to stop eating animals and animal products.

No Meat May sets the challenge to each of us to go a month without meat. This is easy in our home because I’ve been vegan for almost 4 years and vegetarian for about 5 before that. A lot of people I know, however, wonder what on earth they will eat if they aren’t eating meat and dairy. So I decided to share 1 recipe every day for the month.

vegan pumpkin mac and cheese bake

I don’t know many people who turn their noses up at mac and cheese. The good thing about this one? No dairy! And in our house, we use gluten-free pasta so even better.

For this particular recipe, I’m back over at Vegan Richa for her vegan pumpkin mac and cheese bake. You’ve probably noticed by now I have a few go-to sites for recipes. Sites that I’ve had success with over and over, so I know that the likelihood of the recipe working out is high!

Although it feels more like Spring than late Fall in Sydney today, this is a perfect cool evening dish {and Love Bug thinks having pasta leftovers for lunch is fun too – oh the joy of being 8!}.
