Do you find that you use certain spices in your kitchen (besides salt and pepper, of course) more than others? I can tell which ones I use the most because they're sort of perpertually half full or close to empty. Here are the ones I use the most and why:
1. Chili Powder...because I have an awesome Chili recipe (called Quick and Hearty Chili) from a family friend, which calls for chili powder. Plus, I kind of like to add a little extra chili powder...to a lot of things.
2. Cumin...normally not a well-used spice, but it is in my house because I have an awesome recipe for Creamy Chicken Enchiladas from my sister-in-law, Linda, and cumin is definitely the key ingredient.
3. Paprika...because Casey loves a skillet fried chicken recipe I found back when we first got married and the paprika really makes the dish. And it calls for a whole tablespoon each time and that's a lot out of a little spice jar.
4. Garlic Powder...because I'm always mixing this with a little butter to brush on rolls. And because we like garlic.
5. Oregano...because you can sprinkle it in or on just about anything. And I do.

I love to use dill weed, cumin, cilantro (sometimes fresh, too), and I know salt and pepper are a give but I only use fresh ground pepper melange and ground sea salt crystals. Mmmmm!
sounds like you need to post some recipes!
I use cumin in almost everything.
I also use basil and garlic powder a lot.
I use "Nature's Seasoning" by Morton a lot... it is a blend of spices and tastes good on everything! Certain recipes I make wouldn't taste the same without it... a must have!
