My daughter had brought me some eggs from her chickens, so I just looked for a really small one. But I feel your pain. Strange how we figure out how to make due when it's something we REALLY want. I seem to REALLY want a lot of things.

I love pumpkin cake but my recipe makes a huge one and it's hard to divide -- 3 eggs -- how do you half an egg? So I don't make it very often. And I make cream cheese icing even less but it's about time. <br /><br />I've never heard of pumpkin roll. That sounds delish too, but I'm scared of the rolling part -- I'm sure mine would crack and I'd end up with pumpkin roll crumble.

But I'm all about pumpkin, so I'll try to quit mourning the loss of warm weather and bake instead. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-50417827649574065772015-11-03T10:05:36.316-05:002015-11-03T10:05:36.316-05:00Woo-hoo!

Wouldn't a pumpkin roll be a great dessert to take?<br /><br />The holidays - they come sooner every year, don't they? Actually, the thing I'm looking forward to this year is that we'll have one or two "extras" at the table this year...you know, those "extra" people who may become members of the family some day soon? After years of my adult children being single, that's an exciting thing for me :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-46232195186126866472015-11-03T09:57:42.775-05:002015-11-03T09:57:42.775-05:00So stinkin' easy and it looks impressive.

I have learned to freeze small portions or that's exactly what I do, nibble all day and three weeks of nibbling means nothing fits: AGAIN!!!! Oy! <br /><br />But this looks delicious and wonderful. One of our favorite desserts is to do pumpkin roll. I use the recipe right on the Libby's label and it's so easy to do. I use my smaller old-time cookie sheets so the finished rolls fit on cute serving plates. Once they're filled with cream cheese frosting, and rolled, they freeze perfectly. So then I can grab them out of the freezer, thaw them for an hour (or less, actually) and unwrap, dust with powdered sugar and serve.<br /><br />Anything I can do ahead of time is a wonderful thing around here!<br /><br />Thank you for this, it looks wonderful and I could CRAWL through that screen and just eat every smidge!!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
