    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.

We can think of few other meals that are more comforting than baked chicken and rice casserole recipes. We've got three different variations on the chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole recipe for you to try plus classic recipes like our Chicken Casserole D'Iberville. It doesn't matter if you're cooking a weeknight dinner or hosting guests for supper club, theses recipes are sure to impress. We love the ease of a casserole any night of the week, but there are a few occasions where a casserole is particularly convenient. Taco night just got a whole lot simpler with a cheesy chicken and rice casserole recipe: Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole. You could even switch up your traditional game day spread with a Buffalo Ranch Chicken-Broccoli Casserole. And if you're looking for a simple dinner that's still packed full of flavor, we've got a Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole recipe on deck.

Recipe: Buffalo Ranch Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

Our Test Kitchen pros said they wished every chicken and broccoli casserole tasted like this one. The ranch flavor comes from chopped fresh dill, but we wouldn't blame you if you wanted to drizzle a little bottled ranch dressing all over the top for even more flavor.

Recipe: Mushroom and Thyme Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

This Italian-inspired, ready-in-40-minutes dish is packed with ingredients and flavor yet is still a great, light meal. We recommend pairing it with a big green salad and a glass of wine to round out the whole meal.

Recipe: Crispy Onions and Parmesan Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

With rice, chicken, cheese, and broccoli, there's not much to dislike about this twist on the classic chicken-broccoli casserole. Our Test Kitchen calls this casserole the distant cousin to the green bean casserole that everyone knows and loves.

Recipe: Lightened-Up Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

There are so many things to love about this casserole: it takes only 40 minutes to make, it uses cooking shortcuts like microwaveable rice and rotisserie chicken, and you get your vegetables all in one dish.

Our Test Kitchen recommends letting this dish cool before you serve it to guests. This allows time for the long-grain rice to soak up all of the liquids from the chicken broth, butter, and sherry.
