What Spices are in your Cabnet?

Cinnamon is a staple for me - use it mostly on oatmeal. The 2 together are heart-healthy.

I have most of the others mentioned above. I'm also big on the "grinders" (spices in a disposable mill), mostly from McCormicks. In addition to the regular ground pepper and sea salt, I use some of their blends like "Pepper Medley", "Garlic Pepper", and "Montreal Steak Grinder".

I also like a seasoning mix called "Janes Krazy Mixed-up Salt". It's lighter on the salt and has a great blend. Use it on most anything when I think of it. Keep shakers nearby all cooking devices...

you know, I absolutely love those disposable mill grinders from McCormicks. I've got the array of Mixed Peppercorns, Garlic Sea Salt, Sea Salt, Cinnemon/Sugar, Italian, and Steakhouse blends and I tell you, they do make a difference. A little if the Italian on top of pasta as a flavorful garnish and the mixed peppercorns in scrambled eggs are two of my favorites. Its fun for my daughter too because its a little activity for her to do when she helps me cook.

My ex wife had Wolf’s Bane and Eye of Newt.

Not really, she was a wonderful person.

No cumin or red pepper.

Maggi Würze seasoning (not to be confused with many other Maggi seasonings made around the world under license from Nestle in Switzerland)
fresh ground Nutmeg
fresh ground pepper
cayenne
Soy sauce
Garlic granulated when fresh is not suitable
Onion dried chopped when fresh is not suitable
Those are what I use the most of.

 

[KE4EST]

I put cayenne on everything.

 

[dfergie]

I put crushed red pepper on everything.

You can have my share.

8 years and the Title has a misspelling.

Don’t you have to pay for a vowel?

I could name quite a few, but I think more important is that I've found spices to be fresher and much better from Penzey's, than from local stores. It really does make a big difference. And they do have a few B&Ms. Not cheap, but not ridiculous, considering how little of most of the spices you're actually using.

Oh, OK - white pepper!

Our whole spice cabinet is Penzey's. Luckily there is a store about 15 minutes away so itgs easy to restock with their bagged options once we have a jar.

One of the advantages of living in Milwaukee. The factory warehouse outlet is just a couple of miles away

In this day and age can you buy anything under a dollar? Score! I was in my local supermarket and found some spices in an ethnic section. Whole nutmeg kernels for $.69 a bag. (.5 oz 5~6 kernels) Nutmeg is insanely expensive in most forms and this was like finding a birthday present.

We are blessed with several international stores in NOVA, such as H-Mart and Lotte. They have much fresher fruit and vegetables, and a massive seafood collection. Generally cheaper than regular supermarkets. They’ve got stuff I not only don’t know how to cook, I don’t know how to eat!

Not any better on spices, though.
