    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.

Family-Friendly Recipes That'll Use Up That Frozen Corn

Corn is one vegetable that actually freezes very well. While we'd always opt for fresh corn in a salsa or for a raw garnish, frozen corn certainly has a place in the culinary world. Frozen corn can be a great option for cooked dishes like stews or hot dips—since the kernels are frozen, they retain their shape and integrity, whereas fresh corn could easily boil down to a mushy mess. We'd always opt for frozen corn, which is frozen-fresh, over canned corn, which can taste artificial and soggy. Plus, studies show that frozen fruits and vegetables can actually be healthier than fresh ones. Yes, you read that right.If you've got a bag of corn lurking in the depths of your freezer, break it out for these family-friendly recipes. Frozen corn will help add pops of freshness and dimension to your winter stews, like Smoky Mountain Brunswick Stew, or creative casseroles, like Cowboy Casserole. We can guarantee that none of your guests or family members will ever guess that the dish started with a bag of frozen corn. Channel the feeling of summer cookouts by adding corn to your favorite dishes year-round.

Recipe: Slow-Cooker White Chili with Turkey

Chili is one of our favorite fall stews, but sometimes ground beef and beans can be a bit heavy. This white chili recipe uses turkey meat and chicken or turkey stock to make a lighter version of the classic stew.
