I love warmer weather but hate the time change. I wish we could just leave the time alone instead of springing forward or falling back. I like the fact that it stays lighter longer during the day, but I am definitely not a fan of getting up and getting ready for work in the dark.

As I write this column this week it feels like spring ... temperatures in the mid 50s with some light rain. Days like today make me realize warmer weather is coming so that means it’s time to get my grill back ... actually it’s still outside but has been covered for several months.

This first recipe combines two of my favorite low-carb things ... steak and asparagus. This low-carb recipe ditches the flour tortillas and adds a touch of spring with crisp asparagus. Serve with fresh lemon, cilantro and greek yogurt dipping sauce on the side.
