A Touch of Fall!

I grew up eating the following recipes, I added a touch of Fall to make them a little more fun to eat.  The Pumpkin Corn Bread Pudding in Costa Rica is known as "Tamal Azado", traditionally just made from corn, but I added the pumpkin cream cheese I discovered and a little nutmeg and it does give it that hint of Fall/Autumn, very delicious.  My boys love it.

The "Empanadas" is one of my favorite, I have mainly enjoyed them as a savory appetizer, but I decided to make it into a dessert.  "Empanada" basically means wrapped or coated, these special treats are very common in Central, South America and in Europe.  I used the traditional banana we are all used to having in our fruit basket, but I have made them with sweet plantains, just as delicious.  I hope you try them and give me your comments.
