Every day we are getting a couple of tomatoes from the garden they are very good if I say so myself. The pepper plants are growing very fast and it will not be long until we have fresh peppers to go with the fresh tomatoes. Mix them together and you have fresh salsa, I can not wait to get the first taste from that. I wish I had more space for a bigger garden I love to grow things.

Although I use the grill almost 12 months out of the year this time of year spring and summer we use it a lot more 4-5 times a week. One of the best items we do on the grill is chicken breasts and flat iron steaks, these two items are quick and easy and above all they taste good too. We put a marinade on them and then cook them slow and just enjoy the taste.

We eat out at different places that have items that we enjoy, but one of our favorites is the Wild West Shrimp at Longhorns Steakhouse. It is very good and filling, it is a great appetizer and we have it almost every time we go to Longhorns. The Wild West Shrimp and a small steak and you are full. It is one of the best tasting items at any restaurant and I recommend it highly.

Several years ago when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I changed several things in my diet including what I drink. I was a 6 pack Pepsi drinker and it was tough to change to Diet Pepsi, now I drink only diet drinks and water. I choke if I get a taste of a regular soda and have to have my diet drinks. The best in no particular order are

Diet Pepsi

Diet 7up

Diet Dr Pepper and

Diet Sunkist Orange

There is a big variety in diet drinks they all do not taste alike and I like them as well or better than when I drank regular sodas.
