Another good appetizer along the line of the meatballs is the little hot dogs or sausages mixed with currant jelly (or any type of tart jelly) and mustard and simmered together in a crock pot.

can't have Fall without a "Pumpkin Roll"

Mix:
2/3 C. Pumpkin. (I use 100% pure pumpkin from Libbys)
3 eggs
1 C. Sugar

Add to dry ingredients:
3/4 C. Flour
1 teas. Salt
1 teas. soda
1 teas. cinnamon

Put parchement paper on a jelly roll pan.
(this pan looks like a small cookie sheet with sides,
my pan is 16" by 11")
Spread the batter over the pan.
Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.

Now...
Wait about 4 minutes, and flip it over on a linen or tea towel,
pull off the parchemnt paper, and Roll up the cake in the towel.
(Sometimes I cut the edges so it's nice and pretty, before I wrap it up)

Let it cool.

Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese
2 Tbs. butter
1 t. vanilla
1 C. powdered sugar
Beat until creamy.

Unroll your cake, spread filling, reroll, and fridge,
dust with powdered sugar before serving.
(I wrap them in tinfoil and freeze them...)

Pumpkin hugs......

Gwen,
I don't cook too much anymore since the family is grown and gone but I do have a simple little recipe for candy to make for little giveaways at holiday time.

Rolo Turtle Candies
1 bag of Snap pretzels (the little square ones)
1 or 2 bags Rolo candies
1 bag of Pecan halves

Place the Snap pretzels on a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Place a Rolo on top of each pretzel
Put in a 325 degree oven just until the Rolo gets soft
Bring out of the oven and press a Pecan half on each one (press lightly)
Let them cool on countertop until firm

You can put them in pretty little cello bags that you buy at a cake or candy suppy store. Tie them with a pretty ribbon or raffia ribbon. They make nice gifts for kids to make and they taste just like Turtles. Yummy!

Hi GwenMarie,
A friend of ours has an apple tree, so I've been making Apple Crisp like it's going out of style! Here's my easy-peasy recipe:

3-4 lg. apples
3/4 c. oats
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. melted butter

Peel and slice apples, spread in greased 9" pie plate.
Mix oats, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.
Add melted butter to above mixture.
Sprinkle over apples.
Bake @ 350, for 35-40 minutes.

Delicious with vanilla ice cream, of course! : )

Just wanted to thank you folks, for this fun thread ~ and bump it.

I tried Endzoners' chocolate cake recipe ~ but did lemon and it was wonderful.
