    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.

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie with Leeks and Mushrooms

The ultimate comfort food comes straight from our kitchen to yours with this collection of savory pot pie recipes.If you're searching for the perfect weeknight dinner, you'll be hard pressed to find a simpler, more satisfying solution than a pot pie. This Southern classic has graced our dinner tables for generations—it was a favorite Sunday night supper at Grandma's, and it certainly stands the test of time. Often involving a creamy, vegetable-studded chicken filling and a crispy pastry crust, this dish can be dressed up or pared down to suit your needs. Only have 35 minutes? Use refrigerated pastry dough. Want to really impress the crowd? Make your own ranberry-pecan pastry dough to top a turkey pot pie. Substitute your standard vegetables for mushrooms and leeks or the puff pastry crust for bacon-and-cheddar biscuits; with pot pie, the possibilities are endless. While your mind may immediately jump to chicken pot pie, we have recipes that incorporate a variety of proteins. Leftover Thanksgiving turkey? Throw it into a pot pie. No meat at all? Our all-veggie recipes are just as satisfying. This stress-free, comforting staple will make dinnertime a breeze.

Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie with Bacon-and-Cheddar Biscuits

This recipe is Sunday dinner at its finest. If you have time, double the recipe and stick the second casserole in the freezer to pull out when you're in a pinch. The savory Cheddar cheese and bacon biscuits can also be enjoyed solo and are definitely worth the effort.

This pot pie is special enough for entertaining company. Prep everything ahead and pop it in the oven a half hour before guests arrive. It will spend about an hour in the oven and an additional 15 minutes standing before it's time to dig in—just enough time for guests to get settled and enjoy a glass of wine before the main event.

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Recipe: Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

We're a fan of anything we can make in a skillet, so it comes as no surprise that we're marking this as a winner in our book. A refrigerated pie crust helps this comfort food classic come together in record time with minimal cleanup. If you're looking for even more time-saving hacks, pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store so all you have to do is shred before adding it to the mixture.

This surprising spin on pot pie will be a winner for oyster fans. A store-bought puff pastry crust sits atop a savory filling of oysters, bacon, mushrooms, and much more. You'll love the decadent sauce made with white wine and heavy cream. Serve in either an 11- x 7-inch baking dish or in individual ramekins.

Recipe: Italian-Style Pizza Pot Pie

This isn't your average pot pie. Ground beef and sausage star in this Italian casserole. We topped with store-bought pizza crust to speed up prep, but you can always substitute pizza dough. Proceed with recipe as directed, omitting Step 3. (Place entire piecrust over filling in baking dish in Step 4; press crust onto edge of dish to secure. Edges of crust will hang over sides of dish. Tuck excess crust under sides of dish, if desired.)
