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.

rice paper rolls with dipping sauce

These lovelies are from Vegan Richa, but the fab thing about rice paper rolls is that you can load them up with whatever takes your fancy.

These are a great one to make with kids. You all know I’m a huge advocate for having children involved in the cooking process and these are colourful {eat a rainbow!} and fun. They get messy but that’s all part of the enjoyment.

Poppy loves hers with marinated tofu, carrot and avocado. She enjoys the plain peanut dipping sauce {I use the same basic recipe in the link but add 1tbsp tahini to the sauce}. I hold off on the sriracha for her but squeeze some into my rolls before rolling them up.
