    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Honey-Balsamic Blueberry Pie

It's pretty fair to assume that we don't need a reason to bake pie. But if there's any hesitation, we couldn't think of a better time to eat pie than on Pi(e) Day. Yes, it's that time of year—March 14, or 3.14—where dessert lovers and math enthusiasts can unite over numbers and delicious slices of pie. Just in case you need a math refresher, pi is the ratio between a circle's diameter and its circumference. So, it's only fitting that our edible interpretation of the formula be in the form of a round dessert. All the sweet and savory pie recipes we've included in this collection bake up in a nice, neat circle of decadence and deliciousness. Since pi has an infinite number of digits, we thought it'd be appropriate to include these 22 recipes with infinite filling possibilities. From sweet classics to meaty, comfort food favorites, they're as easy as pie!

Make Sweet Cherry Hand Pies For Valentine's Day

These easy cherry and rosemary hand pies are a cute (and very sweet) way to celebrate Valentine's Day. Made with pre-made piecrust and cherry pie filling, this fun food craft takes just a few steps with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Simply mix together the pie filling with some fresh rosemary, add to half of the piecrust hearts, crimp the edges, brush with milk, top with sparkling sugar, and bake. Voilà – easy and quick miniature pies that are perfect for your sweetheart (or, for your child's classroom friends!). If you're not a fan of cherries, sub in your partner's favorite filling (or, a healthy dollop of Nutella).

Recipe: Tennessee Whiskey-Pecan Pie

If there's anything better than pie or booze, it's the two of them together. We love the combination of pecans and smoky-sweet bourbon in this recipe’s thick, rich pie filling. The addition of whiskey adds a kick and a creamy richness to the pie filling that will keep guests coming back for more.

Recipe: Chocolate-Pecan Chess Pie

Chess pie and pecan pie are tasty enough on their own, but when pecans and chocolate are mixed together in one pie, it becomes a real Southern treat. We recommend serving this masterpiece with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, another subtle and lovely addition to the dessert.
