This is my favorite split pea soup recipe. I love my pressure cooker and use it for meals that I need to cook for the family in a hurry. This is great for a cold winter's night, and it tastes great for lunch the next day. I serve it with French bread.

Pistachio Chip Ice Cream
This pistachio chip ice cream brings the flavors of the popular Dubai chocolate bar to a no-churn ice cream. Studded with roasted, salted pistachios and dark chocolate chips, this recipe is made with an easy milk syrup, invented by Chef John, instead of using the typical shortcut for no-churn desserts, sweetened condensed milk. For best results, chill all of your tools, containers, and ingredients so that everything stays cool.
Banana Bread Tiramisu
This banana bread tiramisu is in a league of its own: lots of cinnamon, fresh banana, and a creamy, banana-flavored mascarpone layered over ladyfingers. While there might not be coffee in this tiramisu, it eats the same way and tastes just like banana bread!

When invited to a Hanukkah dinner, I thought of making something appropriate. Finally we decided on a Challah bread shaped as a 6-pointed Star of David.
