I have a ton of them!  If you like Indian food, they use tumeric in a lot of their dishes.
I made a spice blend using tumeric and the following:
 
6 parts tumeric
3 parts cumin
3 parts ground coriander
6 parts ground fennel
1 part powdered dry ginger
1 part ground black papper
1/4 part ground cinnamon
 
This is a fantastic blend of spices!  When steaming veggies, you can powder this on them.  You can also mix with a little olive oil and toss the already steamed veggies in the mix for a few minutes to heat the mixture and let the food absorb the flavor.  There are also lots of meat dishes using this type of spice mix.  It is recommended to stimulate digestion as well.
 
If you'd like some recipes, let me know.
