Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only 6 days away? Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. I look forward to spending time with friends and family and enjoying all my favorite holiday foods. 

Speaking of holiday foods today I made one of my favorite fall treats a Pumpkin Cake Roll. I've eaten plenty of pumpkin rolls in my life, but I had yet to make one of my very own.  Well, today I can finally check that off my list. I don't know why I waited so long to make one.

Pumpkin rolls are such an impressive looking cake. At first glance you would think they were difficult to make, but they're not.  I'm so glad I finally got that under my belt. I think this will make a great addition to our families Thanksgiving celebration.
