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.

Growing up, I’ll admit, I was tuna-salad-averse. The tuna salad of my childhood was heavy on the mayo, full of unexpected chunks of celery, and light on salt. As an adult, however (with a seemingly endless need to incorporate protein into my diet), I found myself returning to that once-feared, now-beloved canned fish.
