All of these spices are making me want to get creative and start cooking something fun.  Garlic seems to be a favorite here.  I started buying the huge jar of minced garlic, it's the only way I could keep up with using such large amounts. 

I want to come to dinner at your houses!!!! I love garlic, probably the most used, then black pepper. I stay away from salt alot, and when I do I use sea salt. (supposedly much better for you).

I want to learn how to use more spices, I love Indian food, especially curries, and middle eastern, I love spices and just don't know how to cook with them. 

I have also started using Tumeric (Dr. Oz says excellent for heart and stroke preventive) and it really has very little flavor so it is easy to put into everything.

Words of Wisdom and a few more things..

Some form of hot pepper: Chili, jalepeno, habenaro, etc.

Not to be obnoxious, but a lot of things that are being listed are actually herbs; parsley, oregano, basil, cilantro. All herbs. 

And garlic is an aromatic. It's technically a vegetable, related to the onion.

If I had to pick my most common spices after salt and pepper, it would be paprika or cumin.

I use tons of garlic it is so good for you. Grow it, dehydrate half of it, then eat the rest fresh.

Mine is Italian Seasoning. Does that even count? I'm a horrible cook.
