Make the same thing in different ways

You’ve been baking for months and you finally figure out a good doughnut recipe.

You could make it once and then start looking for the next great doughnut recipe.

That would be pretty dumb, though.

You could use that great recipe and change the filling and have a dozen flavors of awesome doughnuts.

We don’t always have to re-invent the wheel. We can make the same thing and change it and it’s even been than starting from scratch and it takes a third of the time and energy as well.
