"Pumpkinadas"

    Our grandson, Simon, (age 10, loves to cook and originate his own ideas) created these tasty morsels. Since it's fall and everyone has their taste buds set for pumpkin, we bought the ingredients and his idea was to make this dessert. I said "they look like empenadas" hence the name, "pumpkinadas." They were delicious and easy to make.
