Peanut butter is part of the starting lineup of the pantry staple essentials in our Test Kitchen and nearly every BHG editor’s home. Although we fell in love with it as kiddos as part of PB&Js (sans-crust at the time, of course), we’ve grown to adore featuring peanut butter in both sweet and savory dishes. A spoonful is all it takes to transform a bowl of morning oats or quinoa from boring to day-brightening. We also rely on it often to star in cookies, Reese’s copycat cups, cozy peanut stews, and beyond.

My household is pro-butter. I have cooking butter, baking butter, fancy butter, and usually at least one kind of flavored butter on hand in case of emergencies. My husband has always picked on me for my fondness for butter. When I enjoy a scone or muffin, I usually warm it up and add butter, as if there isn’t quite enough baked right in. I learned this pro move from my mom, so I guess my love for butter is in my DNA.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.
