    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.

Pork is one of those everyday, budget-friendly staples that can be used in so many dishes, and it's one of our top go-tos for when we want an easy and hassle-free dinner (because we are busy!). From sheet-pan dishes to throw-it-together bakes, pork can make any meal burst with flavor without having to spend too much time on it. Don't want to have to wash too many dishes tonight? Well, perfect—because here are some of our favorite one-dish pork dinner recipes.

Recipe: Pork-and-Green Bean Stir-Fry

Don't be afraid to really char these green beans—it'll give so much flavor (make sure the oil in the skillet is almost smoking). You can also sub thinly sliced strips of red bell pepper instead of hot chiles if you prefer.

This hearty dish grabs extra flavor from browning the pork chops very well in the skillet in order to produce a flavorful pan sauce with mustard and cream. Apples and onions pair perfectly with the flavor palette.

Recipe: Italian-Style Pizza Pot Pie

This Italian-Southern mash-up is a great weeknight crowd-pleaser. The traditional pot pie meets Italian-style pizza, using refrigerated pizza dough to cut time, gets its creaminess from a jar of tomato and basil sauce (how easy is this?).

Ham-and-Vegetable Cobbler

Recipe: Ham-and-Vegetable Cobbler

You can throw pretty much in this easy-to-make cobbler, but we made it with ham, sweet peas, mushrooms, carrots, and a flaky piecrust. Put the pie crust on top in a lattice design after cutting it in strips to make it look much fancier and more difficult than it was!

Recipe: Sausage and Kale Sauté with Polenta

Sweet Italian pork sausage, fresh kale, and some marinara make this a quick meal packed with flavor. Topping the dish with polenta really gives it something extra, too. Make it a breakfast sauté by topping it with an over-easy egg!
