In the Kitchen

_____________________________________

I love to cook from scratch

Each new recipe is a chance to learn

For me there really is no match

*

Can’t wait to get it down the hatch

My calories I earn

I love to cook from scratch

*

Making cookies batch after batch

Trying not to burn

For me there really is no match

*

Lowering mixer top, locking the latch

For homemade food I yearn

I love to cook from scratch

*

To a good recipe I will attach

And continue to return

For me there really is no match

*

Homemade food they will snatch

From processed, it’s easy to discern

I love to cook from scratch

For me there really is no match
