Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I think one of the main reasons is the bounty of fresh veggies that are available here in our farmers markets in Calgary.
As promised here is another recipe using Robin Hood’s gluten free flour blend.
Deciding what to make with this gluten free flour was easy.
My boys, David and Cam, love my pumpkin roll. My original recipe was a “gluten” filled pumpkin roll but with both myself and Cam being gluten-free I knew I needed to make a pumpkin roll that we all could enjoy.
Usually when I make pumpkin roll it is both filled and covered with sweet whipped cream but I decided to switch this one up and fill it with a french chestnut spread/cream cheese filling.
Feel free to just use whipped cream, that truly is my son David’s favorite.
