spices

What spices do you always have on hand?

What about marinades and stuff

Re: spices

I always have a ton of spices on hand: (and although it seems like a lot to me, it feels like there are hundreds I am missing)

-basil
-parsley
-onion powder
-garlic powder
-oregano
-red pepper flakes
-salt
-pepper
-cumin
-paprika
-ground ginger
-cinnamon
-nutmeg
-cayenne
-cilantro
-chili powder
-fennel seeds
-bay leaves

For dry rubs/mixed spices:
-montreal steak seasoning
-montreal chicken seasoning

That's all I can remember right now. I always try to have fresh basil, ginger, thyme, rosemary, and sage on hand.

Now for marinades... I don't keep any really. Right now i have a buffalo wild wing sauce. I create marinades on the spot and for that I keep soy sauce, franks red hot, fresh garlic, lime juice, lemon juice, different kinds of oils, and other products on hand to mix it up.

Re: spices

The ones I go through the fastest seem to be chili powder and cumin. I make a LOT of chili!

The others I use most are probably basil, oregano, parsley, ginger, nutmeg, and Cinnamon.
