    Flavor God seasoning, it's a bit expensive but I use it on everything! Sometimes keeping it simple with pepper & salt is nice as well.

    Penzey's is a spice/seasoning shop, I love them. They have LOTS of seasoning mixes and quite a few are salt free. If there isn't a store near you they have a website you can mail order from.

    roll around in some vegetable oil, then some bread crumbs mixed in with flavor god seasonings (they are sooo good) then bake!

    It depends on what I'm making...I have a whole cupboard dedicated to spices and herbs. What I use depends on what the dish is supposed to taste like.

    This. Totally...I even have some masala dabbas put together for cuisines that use more spices. That way I can find everything in one spot. However, when you need a quick hit of flavor you can't really go wrong with some lemon or lime juice. I always have lemons and limes in the house, even if I have nothing else. lol.

    How old are your spices? If they've been sitting around open for 6 months or more, a lot of their potency has faded. I use dried basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary frequently, and they're plenty flavorful (though different and less enjoyable than fresh, IMO). If it's a spice I don't need much of and won't use again in the foreseeable future, I'll buy a small amount from the bulk section of my grocery store.

    It really depends on what you're cooking.
    Beef - salt, pepper, montreal steak spice and w. sauce. Sometimes garlic and cumin. If I want it spicy, I add cayenne pepper.
    Chicken - olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Rosemary is good too. Sometimes just salt and lemon if I want a simple chicken breast.
    Vegetables - olive oil or butter, oregano and garlic, depending on the veggie.

    It doesn't have to be complicated, look up a few recipes and do some experimenting :)

    Always different. I think our cabinet houses about 75 different spices that we mix and match. We also make a lot of sauces like BBQ, marinara/bolognese, jerk, hot sauces, curries, enchilada, and so on. We are really into condiments
