    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.

The Ultimate Fried Egg Sandwich with BBQ Bacon
Credit: Photo: Alison Miksch

Start your day sunny-side up with these egg recipes! Every good morning starts with a good breakfast, and eggs are a staple in our breakfast repertoire. Scrambled, poached, baked, or fried, there are so many ways to prepare eggs. While we love time-tested staples like quiches, we're also venturing outside the box with some unique ways to cook with eggs. Try incorporating those farm-fresh eggs into a creative breakfast casserole that will feed a crowd, like our Breakfast Enchiladas or Sausage-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole. Or instantly upgrade your bagel sandwich with the addition of a fried egg, the yolk dripping attractively into the bread's crevices. From deviled eggs to egg salad, there's plenty of proof that eggs should not be confined to the breakfast category. These recipes are so versatile, you'll be cooking eggs morning and night.

Recipe: Breakfast Enchiladas

Who says enchiladas are just for dinner? You and your entire family won't be able to resist this decadent breakfast casserole. It's flavored with bold Mexican flavors, like fresh red bell peppers, salsa verde, fresh cilantro, and chopped avocado. The cheese sauce comes together with only six ingredients, and helps take this crowd-pleasing casserole to the next level in flavor and fill. Remove eggs from stovetop while they're still a bit wet; they'll finish cooking in the oven. To make this a day ahead, go through Step 2; cover and chill the casserole. Let stand at room temperature about 20 minutes before baking.

Tomato-Herb Mini Frittatas

Recipe: Tomato-Herb Mini Frittatas

These mini frittatas work for simple weekday breakfasts, but can be spruced up and individually plated for more formal occasions. By transferring the ramekins from the bottom baking sheet to the middle rack during the last few minutes of cooking time, you'll give the frittatas a crispy golden brown layer of cheese on top.  Give them a restaurant finish by topping them with mixed baby greens tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. No ramekins on hand? This recipe can also be adapted for a large frittata – simply pour the egg mixture into a 13x9 baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes longer.

Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole

Recipe: Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole

Homemade crêpes, baked ham, and cheese sauce join forces for this twist on classic Gentleman's Casserole. Once you master the savory herb crêpe, you'll have tons of garnish options. Don't let the thin pancake's reputation scare you – crêpes don't take chef-level skills. Choose a plain wheat flower, and do not try to flip it as you would a pancake. Simply tilt the pan in all directions after pouring the batter. This blend of breakfast basics – scrambled eggs, breakfast ham, green onions, and cheese sauce – is a new take on traditional flavor. If you have leftover crêpes, wrap them around smoked salmon, vegetables, and cream cheese for another breakfast option for guests.

Creamy Egg Strata

Brunch for a Crowd Creamy Egg Strata
Credit: Iain Bagwell

Recipe: Creamy Egg Strata

A strata is similar to quiche and frittatas. It's a mixture of eggs and cheese baked in a baking dish, with cubed bread coated in butter serving as a base. This Creamy Egg Strata uses half of a French bread loaf, cubed and drizzled with melted butter. A mixture of Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese pack a sharp punch, and dry white wine and chicken broth create an added layer of savory flavor. Let Creamy Egg Strata be the star of your next brunch. Made with Swiss and Parmesan cheese, this creamy egg dish is worth waking up for. Just make sure you chill it for 8 to 24 hours so the bread has a chance to soak up the flavors.

Savory Ham-and-Swiss Breakfast Pie

Recipe: Savory Ham-and-Swiss Breakfast Pie

A homemade crust made from grits makes this memorable pie a one-of-a-kind dish that your family will request over and over again. Which won't be a problem – it's so easy to make, and maintains its savory flavor after reheating! After the creamy grits crust is set, the cheesy egg filling can be easily customized to fit your family's unique preferences. We added garlic, Swiss cheese, ham, and green onions – try breakfast sausage and Parmesan for a variation. Serve this egg-based dish for breakfast with fruit, or add spinach and Italian sausage to make an easy weeknight meal, served with a light side salad.

Barbecue Deviled Eggs

Barbecue Deviled Eggs Recipe

Recipe: Barbecue Deviled Eggs

This is the best of both worlds – deviled eggs kissed with smoky chopped pork. One of our favorite make-ahead tips: place yolk filling in a zip-top plastic bag, and the egg white halves in another container (especially handy if taking to barbecue). When you're ready to fill egg white halves, simply snip a corner of the zip-top plastic bag and pipe away.
