Is it ever


too early in the day to eat pumpkin roll? I think not.

Pumpkin Roll:

3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients together. Grease and flour* cookie sheet with sides or jelly roll pan. Pour in mixture and add nuts, if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle paper towel (or clean kitchen towel, I use a dedicated "pumpkin roll" flour sack towel) lined with powdered sugar and roll cake in towel. Let cool for 1/2 hour.

Beat together:

8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
4 T. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Unroll cake roll and remove towel. Spread mixture on roll and roll up again. Refrigerate.

*Pam cooking spray with flour works wonders. I do not suggest Bakers Choice. It's crap.

Now ... what to do with the leftover pumpkin ... Suggestions?

My sister-in-law brings this to my Mom's Thanksgiving dinner every year. It's yummy! How about pumpkin bread or pumpkin muffins or pumpkin cookies with that leftover pumpkin? They all sound good to me.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

My best friend and her family used to make these for people in the ward at Christmas time when we were growing up. Such warm fuzzy happy memories!

Looks delicious! Here's my suggestion for the leftover pumpkin... (it's kinda vague, but never fails) I take a scoop of cream cheese, 1/2 that scoop of pumpkin, a few drops of vanilla, some pumpkin spice and part of a packet of stevia (I can't do sugar). Mix. Enjoy on crackers... or whatever! It's a delicious little spread.

Pumpkin spiced latte!!!! I saw the recipe somewhere, and I'm going to make some. Maybe this weekend. I can't remember how much pumpkin you use, but if you interested I'll send you the recipe!

Wouldn't that be great with the roll? Yummmmmmmm

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Cloth Napkins

Image
Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
