Sarah Metzger
As someone who is conscious of health & wellness, I am a long time Vegan and fully embrace a Plant Based lifestyle that now extends into the Holistic Mind/Body approach that looks at the body as a whole. My journey started with the humble beginnings of a weekend retreat that explored what it looked like to have more plants on my plate. From there, my professional endeavors in Vegan culinary creations blossomed at farmer’s markets & by presenting food demonstrations at health food stores, coffee houses and in private homes.
Eventually, Lelulo’s Eatery was born and became a favorite place for Vegan Eats, Custom Cakes, & Plant Based Food Education. Lelulo’s (named for my Vizsla’s and son), has since evolved out of the kitchen & in front of the microphone with the development of What’s On Your Plate podcast.
The podcast is a place to connect on all things that make our plates heavy & abundant and seeks out transformative conversations about how we can shift our portions in life to better nourish our bodies, minds, hearts & spirits. My purpose & passion is to provide guidance on your journey to a plant centric lifestyle. Meeting you right where you're at and understanding your individual needs is the starting point of our connection together.
My take on things is that if you want to become a better version of yourself, you have to be willing to stand in the face of what’s hard, find purpose in your pain, be willing to change your mind, & get out of your own way!
