Hey everyone,

Welcome back to What’s For Dinner & hello to the new faces who have joined over the past week!

I wanted to start this weeks’ newsletter on a bit of a personal note. Quite a few of you have reached out as you noticed there wasn’t a newsletter last week - apologies for my lack of comms. I needed to take a take a step back from work as we said goodbye to my dad, who recently passed away. I’m easing back into things and appreciate your understanding and continued support for this newsletter - it was nice to hear you missed my weekly email! I’ll make it up with a bonus recipe at some point in the future.

And in case you missed it..pre-orders are now open for my upcoming cookbook, Family Cooking! It is jam-packed with my my go-to recipes and I think you’ll absolutely love it. From breakfast, lunchboxes, family dinners, sweets, cakes and more. This will be a must-have in your kitchen. All pre-orders will be personally signed and shipped in early November <3

This weeks’ recipe

I’ve been meaning to create a Pad Thai recipe for a loong time - one that is kid-friendly, but still hits the spot for parents too. This recipe gives that takeaway feel, but with a more nutritious take on it. It’s light, fresh and will leave you feeling great (instead of taking you on a blood sugar rollercoaster!).

This meal comes together in less than 30 minutes, is family-friendly and balanced with vege, protein, fibre and healthy fats. Let me know if you make it and what you think!!

You’ll find my the step-by-step method for this recipe, 5-day Meal Plan as well as the Grocery List to go alongside it below.

Happy cooking & I’ll see you here next week,

Di xx
