Let me start this post by stating that I have a confession. Yes. I know, a confession.
I’m in love with Paprika.
Whew! Glad I got that out.
Yes. It’s quite serious. We meet often during the week, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Love the extra zing it gives a dish.
I first fell in love with Paprika when my mother used it when making roasted chicken for our family as a child, from then on, the love affair was forged.
Paprika, the product of ground bell peppers is more than just a garnish for deviled eggs.
A few years ago, I discovered Smoked Paprika and it truly changed my cooking game. I use the spice in seasoned flours, roasting meats and for adding a little kick to veggies. It’s become my go to flavor booster next to garlic.
What’s your favorite spice?

I like oregano.
Hi there! Oregano is another one that sneaks up on me. Thank you for commenting!
I also love paprika. But I must say curry, basil, and cumin I enjoy.
Janelle,
Thanks for commenting!
I’m a huge fan of those three as well.
I love garlic and cayenne! Mainly because I love spicy food! Garlic goes in everything I cook, I either use minced or powder depending on the dish.
Hi Shauntee!
Thanks for commenting. I’m a huge garlic fan too! I use it in everything.
My favorite spice…I’d have to say it’s cayenne pepper. It adds the heat without interrupting the other flavors like a hot sauce would. I’m fairly simple when it comes to spices. Now if you want to talk about herbs… :o)
Love Cayenne!!
