Pumpkin Roll with Goat Cheese Filling

It's officially Fall. How do I know this? I know this because Starbucks started offering Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yummo. You can find my adaptation of SB Frappacino here. Pumpkins are in abundance here in Indiana this fall. Here is my blog entry for processing a pie pumpkin. Putting a few bags of pumpkin pulp in the freezer is easy and so much more economical then purchasing canned. This recipe is easy and can be made without causing chaos in the kitchen. It is full of good nutrition and real food. No grains, nut free and no refined sugars.

It gets the taste test of approval from all who have tasted it. I cant forget to give credit to the original recipe source. You can see that here at Primally Inspired. Check out Kelly's blog.
