By Kara Kimbrough I’ve shared my favorite cuisines in the past as well as those that I can do without. Specifically, I prefer to skip over the multitude of Mexican restaurants that seem to pop up on every corner of our state. One exception:  I enjoy a sizzling plate of fajitas, but that’s often too heavy for lunch. As far as ordering heavy Mexican dishes covered in spicy sauces, heavy cream and loads of cheese…no thanks.

By Kara Kimbrough Everywhere I turned last week…every internet post…every magazine cover in the supermarket checkout line…every conversation I overheard in the supermarket checkout line…you get the picture…it seemed like cakes were on the minds of many. As a result, the thought of soft, moist layer cakes covered with a thick covering of buttercream icing occupied my thoughts until I was forced to give in to a craving for homemade cake.

The homemade biscuit, a beloved American icon, is on the endangered species list. I blame it on supermarket biscuits marketing themselves as “homemade,” with an “old fashioned buttermilk taste.” In reality, they’re pale spheres of sticky dough ready to spring from their cans offering little more than synthetic butter. Here’s the main reason I’m upset about the neglect of the biscuit. I consider an old-fashioned, no-carbs-barred biscuit one of life’s top necessities.
