Finally, a submission from Rusty! Of course it had to be a baked good. Jenny is the cook, and I'm the baker...

This is one of my mom's specialties that she passed on to me when I started baking. The filling is incredible, and the cake turns out extremely moist and very pumpkin-y! You'll love it, and it's not as hard as it seems at first, as long as you follow the directions, especially with the rolling!

Cake Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup pumpkin (packed in can)
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda

Cake Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients and beat until mixed. Grease a jelly roll pan and place wax paper on the pan. Grease the wax paper. Pour batter on the greased wax paper and bake 15 minutes. Place on a dishtowel powdered with confectioner's sugar. Roll the dishtowel inside the roll while still hot. Let cool on rack. When cooled and ready for filling, unroll and remove dishtowel.

Filling Ingredients:

8 ounce cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. butter
1 cup confectioner's sugar

Filling Directions:
Combine ingredients and beat until smooth. Spread on cooled roll; reroll. Keep in refrigerator. Slice 1-inch pieces to serve.

Enjoy!

I prefer to make my own food because then I know what's in it. You can buy a plastic container of guac, but why would you do that when it's so easy to make on your own?

2 avocados
1 lime
1 clove garlic
1 small onion
fresh cilantro

Cut avocados in half; scoop insides into a bowl. Squeeze juice of lime over avocado for flavor and to prevent browning. Chop garlic clove and add to mixture. Add about 1 tablespoon chopped onion. Chop cilantro (add as much or as little as you want) and add. Mash until desired consistency.
