Spice It Up

I was buying refills for my spices the other day and I started thinking about which ones I can’t live without. I have a list of “must have spices”. They are: Black Pepper, Basil, Garlic, Cinnamon, Oregano ,Parsley, Red Pepper Flakes, Rosemary,Thyme and Mrs. Dash Table Blend.  If I had no other spices in my cabinet these would be fine.  I mix them , I make rubs with them, I use them for so many of my recipes. Of course I have a lot of other spices for baking etc. and don’t get me started on herbs. But these are my must haves.

You may think Mrs. Dash  is an odd one. But, it truly is a great spice mix. You may have noticed there’s no salt on my list. I do not cook with salt ( only if the recipe absolutely can’t be without it). Salt is easily added to the finished dish and is a matter of personal preference for many anyway. We limit our salt intake.

Do you have a  must have  list of spices?

    Mrs. Dash is one I use on a daily basis, I love the lemon flavor. I never salt anything either and I don’t use it in my cooking. Mrs. Dash does wonders for just about anything.

    I really enjoy the spices you listed and garlic is a must. One of my favorites Herbes De Provence. I missed the blog hop this week will try and catch it next week.

    I like the basics you have listed. The only exception is, I use several different blends of Ms. Dash. I am on a salt free diet, which is impossible, but the Ms. Dash blends are great for variety.
    Happy Sunday

    I just visited the most wonderful spice store in Tarpon Springs Florida. I bought two blends that I can’t wait to use. http://www.spiceandtea.com/ I never salt things and when I make something I usually use less than they say in the recipe.

    I guess I’m in a rut….LOL I don’t move much farther than the front of my cabinet, where the parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary and onion flakes live! Love my kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, tho!

    The must have spices in our house are garlic,kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper. Those are just the must haves. Cayanne pepper, paprika, and on and on and on. I use a lot of different spices but I really love using fresh herbs. Great blog you have will be back to visit again.

    Hi Katherine. My choice of spices would be very much the same as yours. I certainly use a lot of rosemary, thyme, basil and parsley. Sometimes some Dill for the salmon and grated chilli flakes, but that would about do me really! Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    I can’t live without good black pepper, paprika, turmeric and lemon pepper. Of course, I use as many fresh herbs as I can get my hands on! ~ Maureen

    My essential spice list is pretty much like yours, with the addition of ginger and cumin.

    I would say my “can’t live without” spices are the same as yours. I would add my “really don’t want to have to live without” spices would be: curry, cumin, garam masala and a really cool spice blend I get at my local health food store called Spike. I LOVE Spike! It’s similar to Mrs. Dash, but I actually like it a little more.

    I like the same spices as you. I order spices through Pennzy’s on line, and they have salt-free blends as well. I use very little or no salt too. I hate anything salty. xo

    My wife is the spice queen! She doesn’t use salt hardly at all. Shae says you shouldn’t have to use spices if you know how to cook with spices!

    I use Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb with the blue top on just about everything. It is always in my homemade chicken broth! Fresh garlic and onion show up in most of my recipes as well!!

    Garlic is a mainstay around here. One of the few spices I use.
