    Cinnamon. In yogurt, on toast, in oatmeal, in some rice recipes(seriously, Indian recipes have the best uses for cinnamon). I also absolutely love chili powder on eggs.

    Fresh ground pepper. Sprinkle it on just about anything. I love the light spiciness it gives to a dish.

    Mine is oregano. I use it on nearly everything. I even grew my own this summer because I use it so much!

    Favourite: Garlic powder -- I love it.

    Others in high rotation: Cavender's Greek Seasoning, Herbes de Provence, oregano, seasoning pepper

    I love spices and trying different ones together. Heck a simple treat for me in high school used to be a flour tortilla with a smidge of butter across the top covered in oregano and garlic powder and heated up until crispy in the oven (or microwave but oven did it better).

    I'd love to grow some of my own spices, but we don't really have the space for it now. If I wind up having to move for work, which it looks like I will, then I am going to search for a new place with a small garden area so I can grow a few things.

    Onion Powder. And I am obsessed with the combo of onion powder, garlic power, and dried rosemary.

    I'm a bit of a spice-aholic. I live next to a market (thank God!) So i get a lot of fresh ginger which works with anything..sweet, savoury, juice, smoothie, tea. Garlic, cardamom, fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and black pepper are the usual suspects. But i'm not opposed to some oregano, basil, bay, nutmeg and all spice.

    No seriously, if you see a rosemary-scented perfume/body spray out there, you get your *kitten* on MFP and inbox me about right away.

    All of them... I love spices and use a wide variety of them. I probably use garlic, salt, chili powder, and black pepper most frequently, but curry powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon, dill, and oregano are also favorites. Don't even get me started on Mrs. Dash.

    Every spice under the sun LOL everything I cook is always loaded with tons of spices. I almost always have to add the hot chili powder I get from a little indian market I go to, I find that it is spicier than ones I find in the regular super market.

    Garlic powder. I'm usually too lazy to chop garlic. It goes on everything: roasted veggies, pasta, anything with tomatoes!
