What are your favorite Penzey's spices?

[urquie]

I'm finally going to a retail location (today) and would love any recommendations!

[blisstwins]

Sunny Paris is awesome.

[elbenn]

Their cinnamon is very good. There are a few different kinds. Their chili seasoning and taco seasoning are also good.

[candaceb]

I'm going tomorrow so I was just working on my list.
Ditto on the taco seasoning - I use half bold and half original.

Other things I like:
Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle - good on popcorn, vegetables, pasta, etc.
Pasta Sprinkle
Northwoods Seasoning
Their dutch cocoa is priced very well if you bake and need dutch cocoa
tellicherry peppercorns
chili powder (we like medium)
Sandwich sprinkle
ground ginger

[echoesofspring]

Shallot salt - DH picked this up and it's just a yummy addition on all sorts of things

[AnnieW625]

I like Chili 3000 over both the taco and fajita seasonings which I find too salty (never have that problem with Lawrys or Mc Cormicks:bag and flame suit goes on).

Northwoods
Mural of Flavor
Salad Elegant
Dutch Process Cocoa
Cinnamon
Galenna Rub
Nutmeg
Paparika
Lemon Pepper
dried cilantro

The bags are often cheaper than the jars. you can get spice jars cheaper at Ikea.

:yeahthat:

You can alwasy buy the jar the first time around, the purchase the bags to refill it when you run low.

We only use Penzy's bold taco seasoning. No packets from the grocery store for me anymore!

Try Ruth Ann's fish spice (or rub, or something like that.) It's great on seafood. Yum!!

Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle!

[hellokitty]

Sunny Paris is my my fav! It is so yummy on eggs and in egg muffins.

We buy almost all of our spices from them, but hands down favorites that we would go without rather than try a grocery store equivalent:

Green Goddess dressing base (great for dressings, dips, even some soups)
Taco seasoning (we use original because our kids don't like spicy things)
Northwoods Seasoning

We also prefer these over grocery store spices:
Cinnamon - I think we order the China Tung Hing variety
Double-Strength Vanilla (I use the full amount, everyone raves over the flavor)
Cake Spice (super, super yummy in banana bread!)

I'm so jealous that you're close to a retail location! We have to mail order everything.

Sarah :)

[infomama]

We have many but our favorites are the Chicken taco, Chicago steak and cinnamon.

[legaleagle]

In addition to pps i love Pumpkin pie spice - I use it instead of cinnamon in things like pancakes/French toast. The cinnamon is awesome too.

Lemon Pepper!!!!

Oh and I don't like their taco seasoning either. Odd - maybe I'm just to used to El Paso :bag

[musicalgrl]

Foxpoint. We use it on eggs, etc.

[Ms B]

Aleppo pepper (delicious in almost everything, but especially on kebabs and kefta)
Tellicherry peppercorns
Cumin (we buy it by the large bag; far cheaper and better quality than the product at grocery store)
Peppercorn dressing mix
Green Goddess dressing mix (makes a great potato topper mixed with sour cream)
Poultry seasoning
Herbes de Provence
Lavendar (for baking)
Pickling spice

Have a great time and don't forget your coupon/s!!

[urquie]

Thanks so much for all the replies... My list is getting ridiculously long! Can't wait to try the spices! :)

[connor_mommy]

Foxpoint for eggs
Shallot salt

[ncat]

these are our current must haves -

Cinnamon (we have at least 3 kinds. the Vietnamese is unlike anything you can get at the grocery store)

Half-sharp parpika

Ground chipotle

[wellyes]

We have tons.
I like Tuscan Sunset and Bold Taco.
DH likes Sate, Northwoods Fire, Singapore, their Garam Masala blend, Bicentennial Rub, Bouquet Garni and Southwest (which is too chipotle-y for me).

[Mermanaid]

So, what did you get OP?
