    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.

Glazed Ham with Pineapple Chutney

What's a ham without a nice sauce to accompany it? From mustard sauce for ham to perfect glazes for spiral cut baked ham, these recipes are the best ways to dress up one of our favorite meats for holidays, special occasions, and even the average weekday. You can even use these recipes as a sauce for ham slices, whether served a la carte or between two pillowy halves of a yeast roll. Sure, ham already packs a dose of scrumptious flavor, but sometimes giving it a sweet finish, a spiced and tangy topper, or even a cool dip can take it from a ho-hum ham to an out-of-this-world entrée. Give these ham sauces a try the next time you have pork on the menu and you'll never look back.

Recipe: Glazed Ham with Pineapple Chutney

The ham is coated in a bourbon-brown sugar glaze that brings a rich and smoky flavor on its own. Add our spiced Pineapple Chutney to the mix for a fresh and lively pairing. For the best texture and flavor, opt for fresh pineapple rather than canned.

Recipe: Honey-Port Lacquered Ham with Whipped Dijon Cream

Now, it's not all glazes and cooking sauces over here. We're mixing things up with a creamy mayonnaise-based sauce that tastes delicious served alongside a fresh baked ham or slathered between two halves of a sweet roll before piling on the pork. No matter how you serve it, this sauce deserves a special spot on your ham-and-sides menu.
