Meet Diane
Hi! I’m Diane. I started this site as a passion project. I love to cook, entertain, travel and laugh. (Who doesn’t love a good laugh?) Of course, being from New York, sarcasm rules!

Welcome to The Balanced Plate
Smart & Satisfying Recipes for a Healthier 2025!
I’m Diane, and my journey with food has been as diverse as the boroughs of New York City, where
I grew up. From working at Burger King in high school, to high- end restaurants in Manhattan and
the Hamptons, to savoring street cart pretzels in Manhattan to exploring farmers’ markets on
Long Island, food has always been my greatest adventure.
