Pumpkin Roll = Yum!

I know I should be posting about what I had for dinner, however, last night the kids didn't love dinner (although the hubs did), so I will skip right to dessert....they all agree on this!! (BTW~we just had hot ham & cheese sandwiches last night....I made them on french toast though.....I think that was the part the kids didn't love)!

Mix together eggs and sugar until light in color. Add in pumpkin.

Once pumpkin is blended in, add dry ingredients and spices....some people mix the dry ingred. in a separate bowl~I don't. I know, I am a rebel.....but I have never had a problem with throwing stuff altogether so.....all I can say is go ahead, live on the edge!

Pour batter onto a 15x11 cookie sheet, that is lined with greased wax paper.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes after baking.

Now the tricky part.....flip your cake roll onto a clean, powder sugar dusted, lint free dish towel.

(And yes, the powdered sugar will fly!). Cool for another 5-10 minutes before rolling.

Roll up...and cool completely.

Once cool, unroll

Fill with cream cheese filling....

Roll back up WITHOUT the dish towel.

Store in refrig. until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy. Leftovers (if there are any) should be stored in the fridge.
