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.

Or at least a friend or neighbor who let you in on the secret. It's one of those deeply personal things, one's preference for potato salad. My grandmother made a German potato salad that was served warm and had bits of diced ham in it. Her children went bonkers for it — the in-laws not so much. There are some who prefer a Dijon-based vinaigrette and round discs of red potatoes with the skin still on. Others love to throw in a generous handful of dill or a big heaping spoonful of relish. But, there's something special about a potato salad that calls on boiled egg.

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.

We also rely on it often to star in cookies, Reese’s copycat cups, cozy peanut stews, and beyond.

We talk a lot about emergency preparedness, preparation, and homesteading on this blog, and for good reason.
