I thought I would switch up today’s post a bit and share a little bit of personal food information with everyone. I am going to share with you my favorite herbs and spices that I use on a regular basis. What I would like to see from everyone that reads this post is that they add a comment and inside the comment include their top 10 herbs and spices. After a couple of weeks I will compile a list of the most commonly used herbs and spices and do a follow up post. I think it will be fun to see and read everyone’s different tastes.
Zesty’s Top 10 Herbs and Spices:
1. Garlic
2. Ginger
3. Rosemary
4. Basil
5. Cumin Seed
6. Pepper
7. Red Pepper Flakes
8. Salt
9. Thyme
10. Cilantro
I look forward to hearing everyone’s responses of favorites. Have a great Friday!!
Zesty

Hi I’ve done a list of my top ten herbs & spices too. It’s on my blog.
Is garlic a herb or spice?
@Tamryn – I consider Garlic to be a Herb, however I think it can be argued as neither and part of the onion family – so a vegetable.
Garlic
Basil
Mint
Parsley
Bay Leaf
Oregano
Pepper
Salt
Ginger
Curry (does this count?)
FABULOUS!
