Pumpkin Spritz Cookies (gluten free!)

I have been thinking about how to make pumpkin spritz cookies that were gluten free. (I'm in a spritz cookie phase...)

I decided to base these cookies a well regarded highly reviewed pumpkin cookie recipe from AllRecipes. Of course I had to change them up a bit. Here's what came out:

Lime Masa Harina Sugar Spritz Cookies

Improvising a new recipe - lime masa harina spritz sugar cookies (gluten free!).

Blueberry Pecan Corn Flour Mini Muffins (Gluten Free)

John asked for a taste of my previous blueberry muffins. I decided to make up some gluten free ones for him, so melded a couple of recipes together. (This recipe made about 30 mini muffins.)

Cheese, Bean, and Chili Pupusas

I wanted to make some gluten free rolls or bread, and came upon a recipe for cheese pupusas.
Pupusas are similar to corn tortillas, but are thicker and are usually stuffed with cheese, beans, meat, or some combination.
I made some for Doug to take camping. (My first batch had the cheese mixed directly into the dough.)
I decided to make some stuffed ones for my dinner tonight.

Note: My recipe below will make 4 cheese, bean, and chili pupusas -- I make separate top and bottom pieces, and sandwich the fillings between them.
   

Smoky Cheddar Corn Flour Crackers

I came up with Smoky Cheddar Corn Flour Crackers - these are gluten free.

Corn Flour Ghost Crackers and other Halloween Snacks

I made ghost crackers, because Alison posted a link about Halloween food.
