It’s Pumpkin Day
This time of year I know when most people think of pumpkins they think of Jack o Lanterns. Me? I think of soup, pasta sauce, cake, cookies, pie. I do love my pumpkin in both sweet and savory dishes.
If you have never tired fresh pumpkin consider buying a pie pumpkin (they are smaller) and give it a try.
Never cleaned and cooked a pumpkin? Check out Time to Kill the Fatted Pumpkin for step by step instructions.
Have you ever used pumpkin in a savory dish? Here are a few of my favorites:
Pumpkin Quinoa Pilaf with Bacon
Pumpkin is a wonderful healthy ingredient that can give a nutrition and flavor to many different types of dishes. Of course pumpkin pie is good, but maybe this year you could branch out a bit?

Wrapping up the Benefits of Yoga Series
I hope you have enjoyed this series on the benefits of yoga. The benefits of yoga are many and I have not even begun to scratch the surface here. I encourage you to dig deeper on your own. But there is one final thought I want to leave with you.
We do not practice yoga hoping to obtain a certain specific benefit from our practice. We practice yoga to come back home to who we were created to be. As we learn to practice the eight limbs of yoga our minds, our bodies, our spirits and our lives begin to come back into alignment. We can feel the sense of joining, union or coming together within ourselves as we progress.
If we are seeking certain specific changes however, we may be disappointed. Remember, yoga does not change us; rather, it allows the natural state of total health and integration already in each of us to become a reality.
I would love to hear about your yoga experiences in the comments below.
