My wife Lindsey has become quite the chef. As a preface, she used to be somewhat of a finicky eater (and still is at times), but now seems to experiment with a variety of recipes. She takes risks now with her meals and I for one truly appreciate it. Tonight she made Shepherd’s Pie which is a casserole of sorts that contains ground beef, green beans, tomato soup, mashed potatoes and corn topped with cheddar cheese and slow cooked in a crock pot. It was delicious.

So what do new recipes and Shepherd’s Pie have to do with anything? The point is that trying new things and taking risks is a great way to learn and progress in this life, be it personally, professionally, or in what you eat. So don’t be afraid to try something new.

When’s the last time you took a risk and were happy with the outcome?
