I also really like dry mustard (try it in anything with a cheese sauce). <BR/><BR/>I'm looking for a good recipe for clams/mussels. Any hints?EmilyAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893455353847291281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-71988954928199759442008-02-22T12:48:00.000-05:002008-02-22T12:48:00.000-05:00I have to agree with all of your spices.

I am just finishing up book 5 and heading into book 6.

My go-to spices are oregano, basil, season salt, and garlic powder. But since I don't cook much, I don't experiment with other spices or adding my go-tos to recipes. In a "perfect" world I would have a bigger kitchen with plenty of counter space and TIME to do home cooked meals. Alas, that's just not in my reality. I love reading your recipes and hope one day I'll actually get motivated and try one.Mama10EEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004523585108091541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-47723601908305175222008-02-21T15:16:00.001-05:002008-02-21T15:16:00.001-05:00Hey Monica - This is the combo I use for chili:gar...Hey Monica - This is the combo I use for chili:<BR/><BR/>garlic (fresh - a couple of cloves; powder - maybe 1/2 tsp.)<BR/>cayenne pepper (amt. depends on how spicy you want it)<BR/>2-3 tsp. chili powder (I use closer to 3)<BR/>1 tsp. cumin<BR/>1/2 tsp. oregano<BR/>2 tsp salt<BR/>ground pepper (just a little)Alainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572980494087728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-25037554844863392312008-02-21T15:16:00.000-05:002008-02-21T15:16:00.000-05:00I like all the ones on your list.

I also use Cayenne pepper pretty often.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054187209428838640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-81547093043198567842008-02-21T14:48:00.000-05:002008-02-21T14:48:00.000-05:00I am SOOOO with you on this.

Oh and a little nutmeg in anything with cheese or a cream sauce. =)Loraena Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004665426519154752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-57892372323171187072008-02-21T13:37:00.000-05:002008-02-21T13:37:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your list.

That's one of the reasons I enjoy your recipes so much.<BR/><BR/>You have a great taco seasoning. Do you happen to have a chili seasoning recipe as well? Can't hurt to ask:)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856975629899818393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-17508480456663744352008-02-21T11:47:00.000-05:002008-02-21T11:47:00.000-05:00I have a fair number of herbs and spices in my cup...I have a fair number of herbs and spices in my cupboard,and would like to have a lot more! Have you noticed how expensive these things can get!!! yikes!<BR/><BR/>However, I was also noticing that despite a full cupboard of spices, it really is just a handful that are used all the time! I am trying to figure out if that is bad, or good. :)Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892693393383714339noreply@blogger.com
