I got out of my comfort zone thanks to Pampered Chef.

I don't cook! I don't know how, and I most certainly don't like doing it. Home Economics was mandatory in the high school I attended, and cooking was very much part of the curriculum. I would find some way to be sent out of the class when it was time to cook but made sure I returned to sample the goodies when they were ready :-) Cooking is not part of my genetic structure. That's my story and I'm sticking with it! After seeing a very delicious looking taco pie online I decided to try my fate in the kitchen with much encouragement from my family. Hmm, it was a process, just layering the crescent rolls! They stuck to my very oiled hands, I then sought out the help of flour to get it off but finally, finally they were laid somewhat mismatched in a circle as the recipe called for. I followed through with the rest of the instructions and ended up burning the bottom of the pie just a tad. Victory!! Any other time it would have been burning all of it. My family LOVED it, specially the kids!! So did my friends that tried a piece. It was even more rewarding when my daughter took it to school the next day for lunch. Thanks, Pampered Chef for getting me out of my comfort zone!
  • Get out of your comfort zone occasionally - Not only will you feel like you achieved something, but you may actually enjoy doing it!
  • Unless you are performing surgery, don't be afraid to make mistakes! They can usually be touched up and the worst is that you must start over.
  • Try something new. It's refreshing when you do.
  • If you have burned the bottom of the pie, you can always enjoy the top!
