    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.

There is no end to the many ways we celebrate and enjoy the luscious seasonal fruits of the South. We cook them down into jams and jellies, bake them up into beautiful cakes and incorporate them into everyone's favorite summer treat, homemade ice cream. Fruits and berries are also delicious loaded into cobblers, but, if you want to really impress your guests, bake them a stunning fruit pie. More fussy than a cobbler or crisp, a fresh fruit pie is enveloped in a tender piecrust that is either crimped, latticed, and shielded to get the perfect look. Whether you want an easy blackberry pie or a peach pie recipe, check out this lineup of some of our best fruit pie recipes.

We love the buttery crust in this pie, but if you are short on time, substitute a store-bought crust and simply crimp the edges.

When novelist Alice Walker penned In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens, she wrote “life is better than death…because it has fresh peaches in it.” You will wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Walker after just one bite of this fabulous peach pie.

This recipe, which ran in July of 2003, calls for blue food coloring to be added, but feel free to leave it out—it won’t change the taste in this reader-favorite summer pie.

Refrigerated piecrusts make this recipe a snap to pull together. If you have a favorite homemade piecrust recipe, however, go ahead and use that.
