Pumpkin Roll

I can’t believe I’ve never shared a pumpkin roll recipe on this blog! For someone as pumpkin-obsessed as me, I’m happy to finally rectify that!

This recipe is a mostly classic recipe, with the addition of chocolate chips into the cream cheese filling. I made this for Thanksgiving, and my aunt who hosts it enjoys pumpkin-chocolate combinations, so I made this one for her.

This pumpkin roll recipe has been developed to be made in a half sheet pan (paid link).

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 12 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Bourbon Peach Barbecue Sauce

Summer months are just meant for barbecue. And not just barbecued foods on the grill; your slow cooker can make some mean pulled pork for you as well! This recipe for Pulled Pork with Bourbon Peach Barbecue Sauce is perfect for a crowd and is great on a kaiser bun with some coleslaw!

I found this recipe in my Cooking Light magazine, made it over the weekend, and enjoyed it during the week for a quick meal to assemble. I also froze half of the pork to bring to the beach for my extended family to enjoy and it held up great! I changed the recipe a bit because I ended up with a 5.5 pound pork shoulder so I altered the amounts to compensate for that.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (5 1/2-pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2/3 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos to make gluten free)
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
  • 1 8 oz jar peach preserves
  • 2 cups vertically sliced onion
  • 8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch
