The Spice Rack

Most of the spices that I use in the Mexican cooking my husband has taught me, you probably already have on your spice rack.  I was surprised to learn how some of them are common in Mexican dishes, like Oregano, which I associate with Italian foods.  So, here is the list of spices and some items you will find them in:

Our Commonly Used Spices:
 Thyme (used in some soups)
Oregano (used in some soups)
Cumin (used in green salsa/sauce)
Red Pepper flakes (like those at pizza places- can spice up soups)
Garlic Powder (add to rice if out of fresh or jarred)
Black Pepper (for just about everything)

This is a pack of bullion cubes which is used in the delicious tomato soup, recipe will be posted later.
