...Other than salt and pepper
For me it's cumin. It's one of the few spices I buy in bulk and actually use up my supply.
In the winter it may lean towards cardamom thanks to copious amounts of chia.
Cinnamon, easily, though cumin is a close-ish second. I put cinnamon in my porridge, in chilli and dahl, on beans, over cornflakes, and so much more.
Garlic and thyme. Where thyme is, there is garlic. If there is garlic, most of the thyme there is thyme.
Cumin
I buy cumin seeds in bulk and grind them as needed.
I also use turmeric and ground mustard a lot too.
Penzeys has a couple of blends I really like:
Pie Spice:
https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/pie-spice/c-24/p-3079/pd-s
"Hand-mixed from: cinnamon (China, Korintje, Ceylon, Vietnamese), vanilla sugar (sugar, vanilla bean), mace, ginger, nutmeg, anise seed and clove."
Good anywhere you'd use cinnamon, but also surprisingly good on hot, buttered popcorn.
Mural of Flavor:
https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/mural-of-flavor/c-24/p-219/pd-s
"Hand-mixed from: spices, shallots, onion, garlic, lemon peel, citric acid, chives and orange peel."
Good on meats, sandwiches, but the surprise to me was adding it to chowders makes it taste like Chicken in a Biscuit crackers.
A few comments have mentioned penzeys. I only now realized that the random picture I grabbed was penzeys. I will have to try their stuff.
