Our common friend Trisha told me about your site. Tried it last year and now it's November again and so they are currently baking in my oven. You have to pay $5/can of pumpkin in this country (SMALL can) but the recipe is so worth it. What a great blog you have, thank you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228658331921427954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1163127609308323772006-11-09T22:00:00.000-05:002006-11-09T22:00:00.000-05:00I'll go check it out - Thanks Patl!I'll go check it out - Thanks Patl!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1163126445268250452006-11-09T21:40:00.000-05:002006-11-09T21:40:00.000-05:00Ok, Joe, my post is up, with lots of links to your...Ok, Joe, my post is up, with lots of links to your blog and encouragements to come check you out.

I substituted 3/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 2 tbs of oil for all that oil, and upped the baking soda to 1 1/2 tsp. I also upped the spices a little bit to make up for the reduced fat. Also used reduced fat cream cheese. It turned out great! I also feel a little less guilty sending it to the office party. ;) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for another great recipe, Joe!a teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152567638374278653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161912558538829962006-10-26T21:29:00.000-04:002006-10-26T21:29:00.000-04:00Meredith - I've not experimented too much with rol...Meredith - I've not experimented too much with rolled cakes... but I plan to!<BR/><BR/>Jen - Sure!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161836238530950702006-10-26T00:17:00.000-04:002006-10-26T00:17:00.000-04:00Hi,Would it be possible for me to use canned pumpk...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Would it be possible for me to use canned pumpkin? <BR/><BR/>Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1161740769285663682006-10-24T21:46:00.000-04:002006-10-24T21:46:00.000-04:00I'm on a pumpkin kick, too!

Last week, I made the pumpkin spice cake from Martha Stewart Living; today, I made the famous "Libby's Pumpkin Cake Roll". I've always wanted to try a jelly roll/roulade-type cake, but have been too fearful of the results. What a shame -- the cake was a BREEZE to make! I decorated it w/ mini candy pumpkins and scattered candy corn on the plate. Only problem -- cake only used 2/3 cup of pumpkin, so now I'm stuck w/ over 1/2 can of pumpkin to use up. These bars (perhaps recipe cut in 1/2) might be the perfect solution. In the meantime -- I can't wait to try other cake rolls/roulades. <BR/>Thanks for your inspiration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
