    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.

There's a lot to love about your skillet. Whether frying up some country ham in the morning or baking a gooey peach cobbler after supper, it's there to get the job done—and with minimal cleanup. When it comes to busy weeknights, your skillet can even swoop in with a quick-fix dinner that doesn't sacrifice heartiness or flavor. Our current favorite: skillet lasagna. The genius shortcut gives all of the Italian flair of the traditional pasta casserole, but requires much less time and effort. No slow-cooked marinara, intensive béchamel sauce, homemade noodles, or drawn-out bake times here. Make it a healthy lasagna or a stovetop lasagna, a white chicken lasagna or even a chicken enchilada lasagna. Just be sure to make it in your skillet. Here are 15 skillet lasagna recipes that are guaranteed to make weeknight dinners a breeze.

Recipe: Cheesy Polenta Skillet

This isn’t your typical lasagna. Get ready to put those lasagna noodles away and pull out the polenta. The recipe calls for ground turkey, but a little goes a long way. Utilize the leftovers by stirring into chili, making burger patties, or using as a filling for lettuce cups.

Chef Giada de Laurentiis knows Italian food. If she thinks turning lasagna into an easy skillet-friendly dinner is just as good as the traditional version, then we’re definitely on board. Spicy Italian sausage gives the perfect kick to her rendition.

Recipe: Ree Drummond’s Skillet Chicken Lasagna

The Pioneer Woman knows how to pull out a hearty weeknight dinner in mere minutes, but we give extra points to this recipe for its low-maintenance, high-yield (read: will easily feed the entire family) result. Keep the drippings from grilling the chicken in the skillet as you continue cooking the skillet lasagna, and you’re set with a whole bunch of savory flavor.

This even lazier version of the skillet lasagna is made up of layers of cheesy round ravioli that fit perfectly into the round skillet. (No Tetris-esque fitting of lasagna noodles required!) It’s the kind of no-fuss meal you’ll love to have on hand.

Step aside, chicken spaghetti. This chicken lasagna not only turns that basic Bolognese sauce on its head, but it makes your baking dish irrelevant. Creamy ricotta, cubed mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses make sure this one-pot dinner hits all the cheesy notes.
