Garlic, garlic, and more garlic!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> If it is a savory dish - it is going to have garlic in it - no vampires in MY house, LOL!

I also love dill weed, it just peps everything up! Basil, ginger, Kosher salt (no more iodized for me, just doesn't have the same flavor). Really I love any fresh herbs. Oh, and I love grating my own nutmeg, the aroma is just amazing as opposed to getting the already ground up stuff.

Fresh ginger, garlic, cumin seed and powder, corriander powder, fresh green chilies, dried red chilies, mustard seeds, turmeric root and powder.

Scarborough Fair spices (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme)

Just 1/4 teaspoon of each spice in green beans with REAL butter is a nice taste treat.

Gotta have onions, garlic, and cinnamon as well.

Salt and pepper, too....

Cilantro! Mmmmmm. I grow my own in the summer. And cloves. I use clove essence as an aromatherapy oil in my therapy practice.

Latest additions to my spice collections - Star anise, fresh cilantro, fresh mint, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves.

I must have oregano, no-sodium meat tenderizer, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, parsley, sage and thyme.

I also get large salt-free shakers of a variety of seasonings mixed together. Something along the line of Mrs. Dash but from a restaurant store.

Thyme and rosemary are two I use all the time. Both have great health benefits and I tend to go heavier with these two than the "recommended" recipe suggestions. :-)

Garlic is another seasoning we use often at our house.

Seasoned salt and my pepper mill which contains white, black, green and red peppercorns.
