    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.

Recipe: Sheet Pan Nachos with Chorizo and Refried BeansThe secret to fully loaded nachos that won't fall apart in your lap? Try a salsa-and-refried beans combo that acts like the "glue" and will help the toppings stick to the tortilla chips. Thick chips (such as Tostitos Cantina Traditional) are best in this recipe.

Recipe: Brined Grilled Chicken with Dipping SaucesThe brine, made with herbs, garlic, brown sugar, and chiles, adds tons of flavor and keeps the chicken drumettes from drying out on the grill. A trio of sauces means plenty of dipping options.

Recipe: Buffalo-Style Sweet Potato Waffle Fries

Perfect for your vegetarian friends (and carnivorous friends) on game day, this recipe delivers big on the buffalo-chicken wings taste—without the wings. If you can find frozen sweet potato waffle fries, use regular cut sweet potato fries.

Recipe: Warm Cheese-and-Spicy Pecan DipClassic cheese dip gets a kick from crunchy, cayenne-spiced nuts. Avoid overcooking the dip, or it could separate. Remove from the oven when it starts to bubble around the edges. You can prep the nuts up to four days ahead and store in an airtight container.

Recipe: Creamy Crab Dip with Peppadews

A crab dip is a staple at all Super Bowl parties. This one is loaded with all the favorite ingredients, including cream cheese, lemon zest, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Peppadews are small, sweet, not-too-hot peppers, about the size of cherry tomatoes and the color of red maraschino cherries.

Recipe: Fried Chicken Biscuits with Rosemary Hot Honey

You can use your own favorite biscuit recipe, or even ready-made biscuits, but we think you will like this easy and fun way to make homemade buttery biscuits. More doughy than flaky, they hold up well with a crunchy piece of fried chicken.

Recipe: Coconut Tres Leches Sheet Cake

If you are looking for a dessert that will wow your party crowd, look no further. A tres leches cake always looks elegant and tastes indulgent, but this one is actually a breeze to make. Loaded with tropical coconut flavor, we turned this dessert into a convenient bake-and-take sheet cake.

Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato-Black Bean Chili

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato-Black Bean Chili

This recipe does not call for an entire pound of dried beans, but the slow cooker can easily hold that much if you want to add more bulk to your soup. If you prefer to soak dried beans overnight, place them in a large saucepan, cover with water to 2 inches above beans. Soak at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain beans, and transfer to the slow cooker.

Chicken Pot Pie Hand Pies

Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie Hand Pies

A big chicken pot pie may be out of place with other party dips and appetizers, so we turned the comfort food classic into a fun and convenient hand pie. Easy to pick up and eat while watching your favorite team, this hand pie has all the beloved tastes of the traditional chicken pot pie. The delicious thyme-flavored crust is very soft, so coat lightly with flour before beginning to roll.

Baked BLT Dip

Recipe: Baked BLT Dip

Meet your new favorite dip. The beloved sandwich is reinvented as a crowd-pleasing party appetizer. It is so good you might want to double it—even if you aren’t serving a crowd. As is, the recipe serves eight, but we have a feeling nearly everyone will be going back for seconds. Crackers or crostini serve as the bread in the BLT, and hearty chunks of sourdough bread will work well here, as well. If you happen to have leftover dip, try it spooned over a hot baked potato.

7-Layer Elvis Dessert Dip

Recipe: 7-Layer Elvis Dessert Dip

This dip can be eaten with graham crackers or with a fork—it’s that good on its own. We believe the King himself would have taken a break from his schedule to eat a serving of this. This recipe serves 8, so it can be prepared in either a baking dish or 8 individual dishes.

Apple-Cranberry Coleslaw

Recipe: Apple-Cranberry Coleslaw

This popular party side dish comes together with just 10 minutes of hands-on time. To keep prep time low, we opted for pre-shredded cabbage and bottled coleslaw dressing, but feel free to chop your cabbage and make your own homemade dressing. We love the sweet and tart dried cranberries, the crunchy and cool bite of Gala apples, and the toasty flavor of pecans. This is an ideal recipe for tossing in your favorite ingredients, so go ahead and add grapes, raisins, almonds, whatever you have on hand.

Slow-Cooker Green Chile Posole

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Green Chile Posole

Posole may be traditionally served at Christmastime, but we thought a bowl of this thick, hearty soup would be perfect on game-day. We used budget-friendly and flavorful chicken thighs, and added green chiles and hominy to this recipe. Adding cheese at the end makes the broth rich and creamy. Garnish with colorful and bright cilantro, sliced radishes and lime wedges. This is a homey, comforting chicken soup with a lot of tasty Mexican flare.

Quesadillas Al Pastor

Recipe: Quesadillas Al Pastor

Pick up smoked pulled pork from your deli, or use any pulled pork, minus barbecue sauce. The pineapple relish acts in two ways: as a topping for the quesadilla and a flavoring for the pork in the quesadilla itself. The relish is also fantastic spooned over grilled chicken or fish, or eat it alone with tortilla chips.

Recipe: Tater Nachos

To get the potato nuggets good and crispy, they may need to bake a little longer than package directions. This is a fun recipe for kids and grownups alike. Turn this appetizer into a hearty main course by adding shredded deli chicken or pulled pork.

Your Bundt pan isn’t just for cakes. Bake this fun pull-apart bread for an eye-catching appetizer for your next party. Look for packages of mini pepperoni at the grocery store near the dried sausages and jerky. Use your favorite marinara sauce and experiment with this recipe; mix your favorite pizza toppings into the bread for a fun twist!

The sauce is a riff off of the popular Comeback sauce, and it will make you come back for more and more! The chips are perfect as is but the sauce takes it over the top.

Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

Recipe: Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

Your party guests will love this dip, loaded with all the flavors of buffalo chicken wings but not the mess. Cooking your own chicken helps control the flavors, and poaching helps maintain some of the moisture in the chicken.
