Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Sheet Cake

I found this recipe on pinterest. 

It's originally called Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Vanilla Sheet Cake but I didn't use vanilla pudding in the recipe. Instead I used Jello's seasonal flavor, Pumpkin Spice.

Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Sheet Cake

1 box yellow cake mix

4 eggs

1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil

1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

3.4 ounce box Pumpkin Pie Spice Pudding Mix (or vanilla)

1/2 cup sour cream

15 ounce can pumpkin

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cups powdered sugar

1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream (start w 1/4 cup and add a little more cream if needed)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a jelly roll pan with non stick cooking spray.

2. Place cake mix, eggs, oil, milk, pudding, sour cream and pumpkin into a stand or electric mixer, beating until well combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan, spreading evenly.

3. Place butter into a microwave safe bowl and melt, about 30-40 seconds. Add brown sugar and cinnamon to bowl, mixing until combined. Drizzle mixture evenly over cake then take a knife and run it through to swirl.

4. Bake cake for 30-35 minutes, until cooked through and remove. Place powdered sugar and cream into a large bowl and mix until creamy and smooth. Drizzle over warm cake then let cool for 20 minutes before cutting into square

~Costume Super Center Review~

Here is Jasmine's first Halloween. We call this costume, "The Angry Ladybug"

Here is her 2nd Halloween. We call this costume "The Angry Bunny"

Now this isn't a good picture but we are finally moving on up. This year she is "The Confused Monkey" (but at least she isn't angry, I guess those baby anger management classes have finally paid off)

I love Costume Super Center. I'm always amazed by how fast the shipping is. 


My favorite is the kid's animal costumes. For some reason I think it's just adorable to see little babies and toddlers dressed in these animal costumes. My kids have always been obsessed with animal as toddlers.


Jasmine doesn't call monkeys, monkeys. She calls them "OOooh oooh ahhh ahhh"  -the sound a monkey makes.


When this costume arrived she didn't want to take it off. Now I have to hunt the house for the body part to the costume because hours later she eventually took it off somewhere? Anytime we even tried to take it off she would get mad.


What I love about Costume Super Center is the prices are affordable enough I can buy more than one costume. Children sometimes change their minds about what they want to be, or you have several Halloween functions to attend and I like being able to wear different costumes for functions and different weather conditions. We live in southern Ohio so sometimes Halloween is warm and sometimes it's VERY cold. 


It's also nice for her age to have several costumes on hand for play. She loves animals so having a monkey, a cat and a dog costume would be great for her because those are her favorite animals.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate Giveaway

What is Coconut Cream ConcentrateTM?

Coconut Cream Concentrate is certified organic whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

This is a very versatile product. You can make coconut milk with this product. You can add it to smoothies, soups or make ice cream. It can also be mixed right into batters.

We tried the Banana Orange Smoothie recipe from Tropical Traditions Recipes

                                      It was very yummy






We also made Chicken Red Curry

                       Alot of thai recipes call for coconut milk
