    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.

A properly prepared prime rib roast is like the perfect little black dress: it doesn't require any accessorizing to make it stand out. But just like an eye-catching piece of jewelry can add a different element to your dress, the right sauce or topping can also enhance your roast.  If you normally reach for the horseradish sauce when serving prime rib, check out these other options next time you prepare this choice cut of beef.

Recipe: Herb Crusted Prime Rib

Add a touch of elegance to your holiday dinner and serve a classic prime rib. You can even go the extra mile and arrange a few loose bouquets of herbs, such as rosemary, lavender, or thyme, around the platter.

Red plums, dried cranberries, and onions combine to create a decadent condiment perfect for the winter months. Spiced Plum Chutney, the perfect accompaniment for pork or beef, can keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or in the freezer for up to two months. Heat the chutney on low before serving if you prefer.

Recipe: Burgundy-Mushroom Sauce 

Is there a more classic combination than mushroom and beef? This easy sauce works great for a weeknight meal of grilled steaks, but it also pairs well with a stuffed tenderloin or prime rib roast for a fancy holiday dinner.

Recipe: Skirt Steak Soft Tacos with Avocado-Corn Salsa

If you are lucky enough to have leftover prime rib, use the meat to make tacos for a weeknight dinner or Saturday lunch. This summery salsa, loaded with fresh cut corn kernels, buttery ripe avocados, and chopped fresh cilantro, is the ideal topping to pull the meal together.

Recipe: Sheet Pan Hanger Steak and Vegetables

Just one dollop of a compound butter, a smooth mixture of softened butter, seasonings, and herbs, can give any meal a special touch. Try it on meats, mixed with pasta or vegetables, or smeared over a hot biscuit.

Whipped Horseradish Cream

Recipe: Whipped Horseradish Cream

This 4-ingredient horseradish cream can be made up to 8 hours in advance. A horseradish sauce is the go-to condiment when serving prime rib, but we think it also shines when paired with this Pancetta-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin.
