Cecile's Pumpkin Roll

Every fall, Grandma Cecile makes her famous, delicious pumpkin roll. And every fall, we love being on the receiving end. Before I was married, I was thankful to live next door to Grandma so I could enjoy this scrumptious treat often. Now, whenever I have a chance to make this, I do - and think of Grandma's wonderful pumpkin goodness.                             ~Julie
