There's a much better chance to find sweet potatoes (not yams, although I eat them too) at the grocery store.

And these are full of bet carotene, which is a precurser of vitamin A.
Vitamin A is great for giving strength to the immune system, good vision and eye health.
When the weather starts to get cooler, possible illnesses could arise? Nature provides.

Yes, absolutely. I love sweet potatoes and they are healthy. Even more key they are a healthy carb. When I am eating healthy I focus on healthy carbs, not low carbs (more of a weightlifter's type diet - which I also do lift weights when I am being healthy). My two main stalwarts for healthy carbs are sweet potatoes and quinoa. Now I just have to make the time to do real grocery shopping, since the closest grocery store is a half hour away - which isn't super far but it's over an hour of total driving plus the shopping so I tend to not do it as often as I should.

So true what you say about nature providing at just the right time of year.

Other yummy autumnal foods that I love are homemade soups and stews. It is well beyond my (practically nonexistent) cooking abilities but I do love to eat them, especially in fall.

There's a way to easily make yummy stews with a crockpot.

Place in a crockpot sliced beef, carrots, onions, celery and seasonings before leaving for work.

When you arrive home, dinner will be ready. Tender beef slow simmered with veggies.
Trust me it's yummy, I've done it. You could quickly make a salad or real nice for the cold weather.
Of course you can do the same with chicken, etc.
