Secret Ingredient

The secret for great flavor in a baked cherry pie Add a little almond extract for the taste that will happily surprise For dull tasteless vegetables like cabbage and green beans Add a little bacon grease watch the kids lick their plate clean For tender succulent beef every Chinese chef knows Mix the beef with baking soda become a stir fry hero Sauces to bland slow down simmer that sauce for a taste profound Slow and easy a little sugar will do cook extra for second helpings too Need some flavor oomph in meats gravies and stews A good shake of Worcestershire sauce your taste buds will woo Add the old stand by for any plan dishes pour on the ketchup make it delicious But the true secret ingredient every cook knows a little love adds the flavor that makes your kitchen glow.
