These elote ramen noodles are fusion at its finest! I grew up eating ramen noodles and kicking them up a notch is my favorite pastime. True elote is grilled, but feel free to cut corners by cooking the corn in a skillet. Your favorite toppings make the dish, so don't skip them.

Roasted Pecan Banana Bread Loaves
I created this recipe for mini banana nut bread loaves with roasted pecans for my father. He loves bananas and pecans, so for his birthday this year, I baked mini banana-pecan loaves so he could enjoy one on his birthday and freeze the rest for later. The coconut extract really brings out the fresh banana flavor, trust me! It even intensifies the next day.
