One of my favorite things to have at Christmas is a slice of Pumpkin Roll for breakfast. This pumpkin roll recipe is from my mom. My mom has made them ever since I can remember. Have been trying for a while to make one, and seemed to always mess it up. Mom always made it look so easy. Excited to say was finally able to make one on my own.

Personally I keep mine in the fridge cause I like how the icing taste a little chilled. Pumpkin Roll is really good for breakfast with a cup of cider.
Usually I stick with chocolate desserts, but I make an exception for this one.
