  PB Sandwich Hack #1: Peanut Butter & Sweet Chip Pickles

Do you love peanut butter so much you updated your Facebook status to “In a Relationship,” because your true love is creamy, chunky (or smooth!) and totally nutty, but it’s okay because you really understand each other? Do you actually survive on a carefully curated diet of literally just peanut butter? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to PB Sandwich Hacks: Week One.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLet’s\u003c\/span\u003e jump right in with one of the most cultish peanut butter pairings there is. You may have heard whispers of it around town, amongst the foodies and the peanut butter die-hards… But have \u003cem\u003eyou\u003c\/em\u003e actually tried it yet? Yes, we can only be talking about this: peanut butter and pickles, a.k.a. the PB\u0026amp;P. It’s time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a series of very scientific tests (read: we went through a \u003cem\u003elot\u003c\/em\u003e of peanut butter and pickles), we discovered that the ideal ratio of PB:pickle is a very controversial matter, completely dependent on who you’re talking to.

The jars you only used a little of and now don’t know what to do with? Well, get ready for the biggest quick-dinner-fix-discovery since the microwave: Those awesome indie condiments (no, not your Heinz 57 or French’s yellow mustard) are your next pasta hack. Game changer!

But like all major holidays, it also means food, and a lot of it. These are the 10 essential traditional Easter dinner menu ideas that must be on our table to give us all the hippity hoppity feels. Oh, and by “dinner,” we obviously mean an obscenely early one around 2 in the afternoon. Why is it that holidays mean everyone suddenly wants to have a giant meal right in the middle of the day?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut we digress. Easter foods are made up of much more than plasticky chocolate bunnies and the indestructible Peep. Read on for the foods that, ahem, rise to the occasion…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeviled Eggs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber one on the Easter necessity list is eggs. Of course, we don’t care all too much about the painted ones—we care more about the kind you fry, beat and boil! And there’s nothing more traditional than a good deviled egg. (Is that an oxymoron...?) Go the eggs-tra mile and add an accent of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/ish-premium-horseradish#variant=226118532\" title=\"Ish Beet Horseradish\"\u003ebeet horseradish\u003c\/a\u003e on top of them or mix \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/original-sriracha#variant=17840600581\" title=\"Sriracha\"\u003esriracha\u003c\/a\u003e into the yolks for a fiery kick. Finishing with a bourbon \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/bourbon-smoked-paprika-bourbon-barrel-foods#variant=false\" title=\"Bourbon Barrel Smoked Paprika\"\u003esmoked paprika\u003c\/a\u003e, instead of plain paprika or cayenne, will establish you as a true egg master. And pro hosting tip: boil your eggs the night before and prep in the morning. Set them out before people arrive – it'll ward those off hungry kitchen wanderers that stress you out in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParker House Rolls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s get this bread, fam. But literally. We know it might be cliché, but is there anything so soul-satisfying and homey as fresh-baked bread? Flaky Parker House Rolls are a simple make and pack in as much butter as possible into a roll. Now, we are going to blow your mind. Right before popping into the oven, brush with an egg wash and sprinkle with a crunchy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/finishing-sea-salt#variant=4624625733\" title=\"Jacobsen Salt Co. Finishing Sea Salt\"\u003efinishing salt\u003c\/a\u003e for more texture and taste. At the table, replace the slab of cold butter with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/white-truffle-olive-oil#variant=false\" title=\"Bariani Olive Oil White Truffle Olive Oil\"\u003ewhite truffle olive oil\u003c\/a\u003e. Halleloo, you’ll thank us later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLamb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk, when it comes to Easter dinner traditions, there are two camps: lamb vs. ham. Lamb is considered more classic since it predates Easter, stemming from the Passover seder. (We’ll give ham its moment in the next blurb.) When it comes to traditional lamb, you might be having traumatic flashbacks to that neon green jar that only surfaced once a year. And sure, you can have that mint jelly set out for the one relative who can’t live without it. For the rest? A \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/condiments-sauces\/products\/tin-mustard-whole-grain-mustard#variant=132757502\" title=\"Tin Mustard Whole Grain Mustard\"\u003ewhole grain mustard\u003c\/a\u003e with a lot of kick will do the trick. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/vendors?q=Tin+Mustard\" title=\"Tin Mustard bio\"\u003eTin Mustard’s\u003c\/a\u003e version is so good that we’ve dubbed it the vegan caviar, each bite packed with several seeds ready to pop. It’s a game-changer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEaster doesn’t just mean any ol’ ham. It \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e be spiral-cut and it \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e be glazed. Most hams come pre-cooked and smoked, so it’s much more foolproof compared to serving lamb. Now, a homemade glaze doesn’t have to be intimidating. You just need a touch of quality \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/honey\/products\/catskill-mountain-honey#variant=269671550\"\u003ehoney\u003c\/a\u003e or high quality \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/dark-robust-vermont-maple-syrup#variant=false\" title=\"Bobo's Mountain Sugar Dark Vermont Maple Syrup\"\u003emaple syrup\u003c\/a\u003e, some sugar, and spices. Good \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/condiments-sauces\" title=\"Condiments landing page\"\u003emustard\u003c\/a\u003e, if you’re feeling fancy. Whisk everything together and brush liberally on your ham as it warms up in the oven. And we mean \u003cem\u003eliberally\u003c\/em\u003e. Really ham it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeas and Carrots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMind your peas \u0026amp; carrots, people. We can’t quite say why they are considered a traditional Easter side dish… maybe it’s a rabbits thing? But whatever the reason, please, don’t go wandering down the frozen food aisle looking for the plastic bag. This year, try something out of the box—or out of the jar. Snappy pickled peas and carrots by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/vendors?q=Unbound+Pickling\" title=\"Unbound Pickling bio \"\u003eUnbound Pickling\u003c\/a\u003e are brined in a mix of ginger, mint, allspice, coriander and red pepper flakes. Served alongside the rich deviled eggs, they’ll be in perfect harmony. Hop to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotatoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother necessary Easter side dish that begs a question… scalloped or au gratin? Yes, there is a difference. If you finish your potatoes with grated cheese on top, they become \u003cem\u003eau gratin\u003c\/em\u003e. And we hope you do, because we can’t imagine anything better than potatoes topped with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/black-truffle-cheese#variant=15398680657954\" title=\"Plymouth Artisan Cheese black truffle cheddar cheese\"\u003eblack truffle cheddar cheese\u003c\/a\u003e by Plymouth Artisan Cheese. (To be honest, we might even forget the potatoes and just eat it by the slice with the aforementioned Parker house rolls.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot Cross Buns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating back to the 12th Century, these sweet breads are packed with dried fruits (such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/dried-cranberries-blueberries#variant=11225225157\" title=\"Vincent Family Dried Cranberries and Blueberries\"\u003ecranberries and blueberries\u003c\/a\u003e, and even \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/organic-candied-orange-peels#variant=2331280964\" title=\"Steve \u0026amp; Andy's Handmade Organics Candied Orange Peel\"\u003eorange peel\u003c\/a\u003e) and necessarily \u003cem\u003ecrossed\u003c\/em\u003e with an icing cross. (That’s how they got their name.) Believe it or not, people used to bake them on Good Friday and hang them in their homes to ward off evil spirits... We’re not quite sure how effective bread was for that, but they are pretty darn delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarrot Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe abide by the \u003cem\u003eobvious\u003c\/em\u003e fact that carrot cake is much, much healthier than regular cake because there’s a serving of vegetables in it….despite the layers of cream cheese frosting and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/spiced-candied-pecans#variant=992945036\" title=\"Quince \u0026amp; Apple Spiced Candied Pecans\"\u003ecandied pecans\u003c\/a\u003e. But luckily, we found a super light (both physically and calorically) version, thanks to the folks at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/collections\/vendors?q=Wondermade\" title=\"Wondermade bio\"\u003eWondermade\u003c\/a\u003e. Their carrot cake marshmallows are made with actual carrots and pack all the flavor of a slice. Plus, they’re less dense a dessert… well, at least a little. Depends if we eat the whole box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLemon Curd and Meringue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think of lemons as year-round fruits, but they actually ripen in the winter. As the ground thawed and Peter Cottontail came hippity hopping down the bunny trail, people were left with a surplus of citrus. Cue the lemon curd. With cloud-like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/bunches-and-bunches-cloud-cookies#variant=329383233\" title=\"Bunches \u0026amp; Bunches Cloud Cookies\"\u003emeringues\u003c\/a\u003e and a zesty \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/white-lemon-ginger-tea#variant=8326375877\" title=\"Flying Bird Botanicals White Lemon Ginger Tea\"\u003etea\u003c\/a\u003e, it’s just the thing to lift Easter dinner up and make guests feel like they can rise out of their seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCandy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk, we bashed Easter candy a bit in the beginning. But who are we kidding, no Easter would be complete without a visit from the Easter bunny and his basket of goodies. A fan of Peeps? We found the best. Handmade, all-natural \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth-us.mom\/products\/vanilla-marshmallow-ducks\" title=\"Zoe's Chocolate Co.
