1. Cinnamon:

I'm a cinnamon addict in a country that doesn't have cinnamon-rolls, cinnamon-cookies,...
I love to use it in Oriental-inspired chicken dishes, cookies, pies, hot chocolatemilk, on plain milkice, even cinnamon-tea ^__^

I adore the smell and flavour of rosemary. I use it a lot in Italian-inspired dishes and with grilled meat.
Heck, I even tried rosemary-ice

Freshly grounded is the best! The smell is so rich. I use it on most things a little bit.
Try strawberries, sprinkled with a little bit of balsamico (you could make a syrup of it first if you don't have the thick, rich kind) and a little grounded black pepper. (don't overdo it, just a small hint)

I use it far to little but it's definitely a favorite.
Superdelicious in oriental dishes but my favourite use is in coconut/pumpkinsoup and a "stew"/dish with minced meat, orange-ginger sauce and mashed potatoes.

Freshly grounded it's delicious on meat, mashed potatoes, applepies/muffins, just a pinch in hot chocolate,...
