I think I Solved the Mystery of the Secret Ingredient in These Yakima Cinnamon Rolls
The other day my friend was telling me about these cinnamon rolls. They were great, but they had something extra to them that they could not quite place their finger, or tongue, on it was about them. The flavor was spot-on, they were cooked to perfection, they had items on top of the cinnamon roll you could clearly see and it wasn't any of those. There was a little something special -- something extra that wasn't wrong or weird but it was just that little extra something that made it unique. Of course, I had to investigate.
My friend and I found our way to Powerhouse Grill, home of the 'we can make you just about anything' for breakfast menu. That's not really their slogan but it ought to be with how many options they have. When you walk in you can also see their glass case full of cake and other baked goods like muffins, cookies and these cinnamon rolls. I grabbed breakfast, too, but I was mostly curious to try these cinnamon rolls as, for as many times as I've been to Powerhouse Grill, I've never ordered them.
I took a bite and they were right. There was something unique about these. It wasn't the cinnamon roll itself, but it was the icing. The frosting wasn't what I expected. It was very welcome but it had a little extra something in it. Almost zesty or lemony, we can't quite figure it out. If you know, please let us know as I'm curious to know what makes these cinnamon rolls different from every other cinnamon roll I've ever had. Then it hit me. I know what the secret ingredient is.
It's love. The secret ingredient is love. It always has been.
