September is here and with that begins many routines and getting back into the groove of things for most of us. Kids head back to school, parents head back to work and we find the lazy days of summer have come and gone.
Personally, I love the fall season. There are so many great things about this time of year. The air just seems fresher and the beginnings of change can be seen in the trees and surroundings. I can hardly wait to see all of the bright cheerful colors of the leaves.
Today I got back into the routine of the gym. My first indoor workout has begun. Most of my fitness I prefer to do outdoors like cycling and walking but to keep my body in shape also requires some weight lifting and stretching too. My husband and I just changed gyms as we had been going to the same one for about 14 years but found during the late spring and summer months we didn't utilize it properly as that is when we got on our bikes and I began outdoor walking again.
The new gym worked out well, has everything we need to stay fit and healthy. Along with working out I love to create healthy meals. So I thought I'd share this dinner recipe with you. A simple easy 'wrap' for tonight's meal.
Roasted yams and black bean wrap. I cubed 2 yams and roasted with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt at 400 degrees for about 35 mins.
Lay out your tortillia wrap and layer it with some romaine lettuce, add a handful of roasted yams, rinsed and drained black beans, thinly sliced tomato, some thinly sliced peppers and red onion. Drizzle with a homemade dressing or just with olive oil. Roll up and enjoy.

Take Advantage of Summer's Bounty
Summer time is the best time to enjoy the local produce. Wherever you live you should definitely take advantage of the fruits and vegetables that abound in your area.
This morning I stopped at a corner fruit stand near my home and picked up some delicious fresh blueberries and some local corn on the cob. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. The price is also a little lower than what you'll pay in a super market for them too. Where I live at this time of year wild blackberries are growing plump and juicy in easily accessed areas. My husband and I picked a big bucket full last week. I washed them and flash froze them on a cookie sheet and then put them in freezer bags. They are fabulous to have on hand in the fall and winter months to add to smoothies, or sprinkle on your yogurt. I made a blackberry & blueberry crumble for dessert last night for my family. So good!
The cost of fruits and vegetables can be expensive especially when buying them out of there normal season so one should definitely take advantage of free wild berries when you can. After all they are organic and come with lots of health benefits.
