What’s your everyday spice ingredients Or every other day essentials?

Ratio is key though.

Chipotle
Coriander
Garlic
Ginger

Depends on what I'm cooking

at the risk of sounding pretentious…we make our own dried herb blends and dry powders and the results are amazing. Like, you immediately tell the difference.

I get herbs and hot peppers from the garden
Dry them out
Grind ‘em up, but it’s mostly seasonal

I keep

Dried Italian Herb Blend
Paprika
Chili powder
Powdered cayenne
Granulated Garlic
Red pepper flakes
Curry powder

as stand-alone pre-powdered/ground spices. I keep cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, celery seed, dill seed, and mustard seed as whole spices and grind them when I use them.

I also have a few blends that I use pretty regularly including a Jamaican blend (thyme heavy, with rock sugar), a Greek blend with a very coarse grind, Tony's more spice, and like a thousand barbecue rubs that I just HAD to try, used once, and never used again

Salt or Slap Ya Mama, black pepper, garlic powder are pretty much staples.

I do have a huge array of herbs and other seasonings that I use depending on what I'm cooking.

If Tex-Mex, I will use cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and pepper flakes or my homemade pepper sauces.

Italian sees me using sweet basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, rosemary most of the time.

If cooking Chinese style dishes, it's soy sauce, fresh ginger, oyster or fish sauce, sesame oil and a host of fresh vegetable ingredients.

Chilli oil
Soy sauce
Tapatio

Use each almost everyday.

Tony’s

---

I have Tony’s, but I’ve used it less and less over time.

It can be a bit overpowering with dishes I make.
Sometimes I’ll sprinkle some on a sandwich and I sprinkle it when I pan fry brussel sprouts

This stuff is good. Use it mostly on pork, eggs and chicken.
