Hi, I'm Diane.
Hi, I'm Diane. I'm 56, a retired middle-school vice-principal from Ohio, and my husband Rob sleeps under a winter duvet while I sleep with the window open. I'm not a doctor or a dietitian, just a woman who refuses to give up dessert.
The recipes I share are written by the Porchside team. They use everyday groceries and a lot less added sugar than the usual recipe.
On this page you'll find my 5 free dessert recipe cards, what I post about, and my full cookbook if you want more. Okay girls, lean in.
