I made pumpkin roll today! Two of them, to be exact.
Pumpkin roll is my favorite fall dessert. It's a recipe I got from my mom. I think she got it from a magazine several years ago. Anyway, it's something she would make every fall, and now that I live on my own, I have carried on the tradition. I introduced a few of my friends to pumpkin roll a few years ago, and it was such a hit, they pretty much expect me to make it for them every year. I now tend to make it in combination with the famous (in my small circle, anyway) Banta family chicken and noodles, which I have made for the aforementioned friends for the past two years now. The third annual chicken and noodle day is next Saturday and I was in a baking mood, hence the pumpkin roll making of today.
I made two pumpkin rolls because 1) I had a whole can of pumpkin and one pumpkin roll only calls for half and 2) I figure I can take the second pumpkin roll to work with me on Tuesday for a yummy Halloween treat. It's safe to say that pumpkin roll is not on my diet, so I figure it's best to let my coworkers help me eat it. Because if it's in my fridge, eat it I will. The whole darn thing. See, frosting is one of my greatest food weaknesses in this world. I love the sugary goodness of frosting like pretty much nothing else. And pumpkin roll filling is right at the top of my frosting love list. It consists solely of powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract. What is not to love? Absolutely nothing, I tell you.
Anyway, I believe that my ability to talk about nothing but pumpkin roll for two plus paragraphs proves just how much I love it. I have decided to share the recipe here for anyone who might like to try it. If you like pumpkin and cream cheese, make it! I promise that you will love it.

I can pretty much guarantee you a whole post on my chicken and noodle making adventures next Saturday. Aren't you excited?
