My Spice Rack

There are many combinations in which you can use herbs and spices to make a great meal or dessert. I started with a small store bought spice rack and expanded over time to a cabinet full of bottles and jars. Here is a list of tried and true herbs and spices that I find myself regularly replacing and using in my recipes. I've put asterisks (*) next to the ones that are commonly found in prepared spice racks which can be purchased in retail stores, department stores, and online. Have suggestions for things no home-cook should be without? Post them below!
