Whole Grain Pumpkin Cream Jelly Roll, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars, and Pumpkin Bars

This post reminded of the old Burger King song "Have it your way" This has 3 different options depending on what you are in the mood for. You can make the same cake bar recipe for all three.  All of the versions were a hit with my family.

I was in Costco the other day and got bit by the "Pumpkin bug". They were serving pumpkin muffins and I had one. All the feelings of fall came to me and I knew I needed to go home and make somethng with pumpkin. I love pumpkin! If the truth be told It doesn't need to be fall to eat it.. You can enjoy that Fall feeling all year.  :) Even if its not Fall officially you can start enjoying too. I think I need to go and make some pumpkin muffins now, its raining outside. :)
