I have so many peppers, I've dried, powdered and frozen, so now I want to make some spice combinations for cooking both dry ingredients and for sauces. Does anyone have any good ideas on what would be some good combinations of some spices and herbs to add to sauces or spice mixes to enhance flavours???

Just experiment JR, it's not like you'll run out of chillies any time soon. 
Lemon grass, ginger and yellow 7 pods
Lots of garlic with Scorps
and cumin, coriander, mustard seeds and tonnes of pepper pepper with my bhuts
Thats all the trade secrets I can afford to leak.... for now

Now this is just a thought, as I have not done this yet, but what about Bhut powder mixed with cumin? I think that would be outrageous and just plain yummy. Could use it to spice up a lot of soups and stews. Or use it in chili. Or sprinkle on BBQ.
Hi Salsalady,
yes I'm wanting to use the spices in both dry blends using dry pepper powders and sauces using the frozen peppers but I'm not sure which spices go best together (compliment one another?) any ideas for starters or could you point me to some web sites????

Hi JungleRain~
I don't know of any websites other than this one (for hot sauce recipes)
http://www.pepperfool.com/recipes/hotsauce_idx.html or the recipes topics here.
I'd suggest googling "dry spice recipe xxx" and add whatever spice you are interested in and just start reading recipes. You will start to see the same ingredients come up together often, and that is a good indication they work well together.
As for the frozen chiles....I'm learning that there is a world of difference in the flavors of the peppers, even the superhots. Just taste the pepper and try to envision what flavors would go well with it.

My son (age 11) just made his first hot sauce. Before he started, we took every vinegar and every spice out of the cupboard and tasted each one so he could know what the flavors were and decide what he wanted to put in his sauce. He did pretty good for his first sauce, I hope he'll try again. He was working with Peach Habanero chiles and fashioned the sauce around those chiles.
