How are are you "home gamers"? Okay, I just got done watching Jim Cramer....I confess. There's a reason it's called Mad Money.....he's a wild thing! I love him regardless. One day I'll buy the right stock and actually make some money.....hehe, I'm not holding my breath!!
All this fall color and leaves have gotten me thinking about Thanksgiving and more holidays to come. I went through my mother's recipe file and came across the traditional Pumpkin Roll recipe scrolled on a piece of a small yellow legal pad. The writing has faded along with the frequency with which we enjoy homemade pumpkin roll. I always loved her recipe. (I was sure her ingredients must have been so much better than everyone else! ) Well just in time for Thanksgiving I think I'll post her recipe, maybe it will inspire me to revisit that time! Enjoy!
