Top "Must Have" Spices in the Kitchen

Picture Reference
Whether you're a cook or just occasionally cook, one thing we all need are spices. What better way to improve a dish, than with some spices/seasoning!  As I looked around my pantry, I began to think about what spices were "Must Haves" in our house (besides the obvious salt, pepper and garlic).  Here is a list of some spices you'll find in most households... you may not find all of them, but you'll likely find 1 or 2...

Now, here are the "Must Haves" in my house...
*Cinnamon- a great addition to just about anything sweet, whether it's breakfast or dessert
*Oregano- great for roasting meats, soups, and pastas
*Rosemary- also great for roasting meats, soups, and pastas

I asked and YOU answered!! I took to Facebook to see what were your "Must Haves" in your housholds and here were the top 5 choices...
Basil 
Chili Powder 
Cinnamon 
Paprika 
Red Pepper Flakes 


Feel free to check out my Top 10 Pantry "Must Haves" list here!  Got any spices that didn't make the top 5?? List them here!
