    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.

These delicious steak recipes will bring the sizzle to your dinner table. A classic, perfectly cooked steak is enough to make anyone beam with joy. Whether you like your steak slathered in sauce or solo in all its glory, these steak recipes will keep you and your family coming back for more. Not in the mood for a standard steak? No worries. Try Skirt Steak Soft Tacos with Avocado-Corn Salsa. It's a deliciously unique dish that offers a burst of Mexican flair. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, go for the Steak-and-Bell Pepper Salad or the Grilled Steak Salad with Potatoes and Pickled Red Onion. Its versatility is one of the many reasons steak is such a fan favorite. For instance, the Beef-and-Brussels Sprouts Stir-Fry is a uniquely tangy dish that combines two classic cuisines to create one delectable masterpiece.

Cast-Iron Cowboy Steak

Recipe: Cast-Iron Cowboy Steak

This is the best way to cook a thick, juicy bone-in steak restaurant-style without smoking up the house. Use your grill to heat the cast-iron skillet; the skillet surface area promotes a more assertive flavor and better sear than grill grates, yielding a steak with the proper steak house crust.

Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Charred Tomato Relish

Recipe: Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Charred Tomato Relish

The smoky flavor of the Charred Tomato Relish is delicious on just about anything you grill: chicken, fish, or even thick slices of country bread. We love it paired with perfectly cooked grilled flat iron steak. Flat iron steak can be a tougher cut, so be sure to slice against the grain for the most tender results. Spoon tomato relish over the top.
