I don't often post riddles/puzzles and there's good reason for that

But HM's latest spate of compound word puzzles inspired me. I have no idea whether these will be considered hard or not so I'll wait to post the "rules" to see if anyone has a good guess as to how it works. The only clue (which will only really make sense to those that have been here for awhile) is that it's my impersonation of HM doing an old MrsP puzzle if MrsP liked anagrams instead of homophones.

1) small glows

2) begin pies

3) cut weight reduction ratio

4) ultimate spice supply

5) Emperor informs Brad Pitt, defiles paintings

Hope you enjoy them...
