I like a variety of spices. They are, as they say, what makes the dish. In particular, I can't fathom making a spaghetti dish without onions and garlic. It's never the same otherwise.

I love my cinnamon/sugar mix for pork chops, taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, garlic, bay leaves, chili powder, Old Bay, dried ginger, rib and chicken rubs, and so many more.  I don't know why, but I bought Allspice a couple years ago and still don't know what to do with it; same with Curry and Chinese Five Spice powder. Bought wasabi mustard too. I have a 4-shelf spice rack on the door of my pantry and 2x3 foot shelf full of spices. :)

I'm guilty of high spice hoarding myself.  That and cookbooks.  The  old adage of the secret to getting a man is through is stomach is true in my household.  My husband HATES to cook.  He LOVES to save money.  So when I can show him how my spice concoctions can save $$$ rather buy pre-packaged spices he's swooning.  There is only one spice (so far) I've come across that I use sparingly as I don't care for it much...Cumin. A little goes a long way with this stuff.  I also wish I enjoyed the flavor of cilantro more... particularly the fresh stuff.

My favorite spice is garlic powder. I use it on almost everything. However I have many other spices I also use.

I do like spices, but one thing, it hikes up the blood pressure so I got to be careful. I like cinnamon, and sweet chili powders, garlic, others.   :thumbsup:

I don't use a lot of spices...  but I am making an effort to include Turmeric in my dishes this year.  I've been reading a lot about that spice & it's benefits, including anti-inflammation. 

I usually cook with fresh spices & only around the holidays.  Basil, parsley....

I like to use paprika. My son puts it on his ramen noodles for some reason he says it makes them taste better. I am venturing into using more types of spices now as I see they really do enhance the flavor of your food.

I love going to Dollar Tree for spices. They're sooo much cheaper there than the grocery store, and the same quality too. I'd also recommend checking out the ethnic foods section for discounted spices. Fun fact: the generic spices at Walmart are manufactured at the same place the name-brand spices are manufactured, so if you wanna save a little money and don't have any coupons, just get the generic. Thank me later!! ;)

I have a lot of different spices in my cupboard, since I do a most of the cooking at my house it is a must, also do all of the baking.  Hubby goes mostly for   the onion, garlic mixture but when I cook I use a lot of ethic spices. And he  likes it all. I think he is just a little confused by all of them.

I do use spices, but they are very numbered depending on what I may cook.

Two boxes of spices - wow that's a lot.   I use garlic, onion powder, cinnamon and  nutmeg mostly.  I may try to grow a few herbs this summer and see how that works out.

I do most of the cooking and use a lot of cookbooks so spices in my house are necessary.  But sometimes when I only need a 1/8 teaspoon of a unusual spice I might skip especially if it too expensive
