Love the smell when I open a new bottle and love experimenting. I love trying to make some of my own blends but I also think that pre-blended are good as well as long as they come from a reputable company. Penzey's being one of them. I think there are too many to mention as my favorites because it depends on what I am cooking that night.   Such a good question though. What are your favorites Becky?

I have recently started to use onion salt more too... I make up pesto and will add a tsp of that too...  and cumin. Those are my most freequent go-tos.  Oregano goes in pretty much everything, not counting salt and pepper.

For cooking, it's Sea salt, coarse ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder.  Herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, sage and marjoram; all dried leaf form.  One of my new favourites is cayenne pepper.  It was difficult to find some that wasn't completely ground into a powder, but I did find it again; bought 3 bottles of the stuff. For baking, cinnamon is my all-time favourite, but I'm quickly warming up to nutmeg and cloves. For cooking, sometimes I eye-ball it but mostly I will measure carefully.  Depending on the item. I generally don't use store bought spice blends as they probably contain MSG or citric acid.  I have made up my own "Cajun" spice mix that I use when I make quesadillas or chip dip.  It contains most of the above mentioned cooking spices and I'm still experimenting with using it.  Fantastico!
