    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.

When it comes to holiday cooking, there's no place more trusted for discovering hidden gems than Grandma's recipe tin. With the help of Southern authors, historians, chefs, and our Test Kitchen pros, we've unearthed some of the most storied Thanksgiving recipes our region has to offer. Including sliced sweet potato pie from Alabama and stuffed mirlitons from Louisiana, these old-fashioned Thanksgiving finds deserve some love this year. Even first-time Thanksgiving hosts can whip up easy, vintage recipes like Egg Custard Pie and Cranberry Fluff Salad (remember that one?). Don't worry: We didn't forget the candied yams and yeast rolls! With Sea Island Crab Fried Rice adapted from Sallie Ann Robinson's first cookbook, Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way and a Caramel Tart inspired by legendary chef Edna Lewis's caramel pie, these old-fashioned Thanksgiving recipes will give you a taste of culinary history. We have a feeling these comforting, old-school recipes will become tradition at your Thanksgiving table.

Recipe: Cranberry Fluff Salad

If you took a poll of Southern grandmothers, we're willing to bet that 100 percent of them have a recipe for fluff salad in their collection. Though there are plenty of takes on fluff salad, this version was made for the holidays. Add an homage to Grandma to your table with this retro recipe.

Recipe: Collard Greens with Garlic and Sippets

This recipe, inspired by Alabama native and author Eugene Walter's take on collards, includes "sippets," or tidbits of stale bread that are fried with cloves of garlic. You'll love this quick greens recipe that doesn't need to simmer on the stovetop for hours.

Recipe: Sliced Sweet Potato Pie with Molasses Whipped Cream

Though you might think of sweet potato pie as the creamy, custard-style version, many in Alabama know it as having a sliced sweet potato filling. "As an accomplished research scientist and educator at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute in the early 20th century, George Washington Carver featured a recipe for Sliced Potato Pie in an agricultural bulletin about sweet potatoes, which encouraged African-American farmers to cultivate the root vegetable as a cash crop and nutritional powerhouse," writes Nancie McDermott. "Every bite of this dessert tastes like autumn and reminds us what a generous genius Carver was."

Recipe: Baked Mac and Cheese with Bacon

This take on classic baked mac and cheese is familiar enough for traditionalists but has just enough pizzaz to surprise everyone at your Thanksgiving table. Our Test Kitchen recommends Tennessee's own Benton's bacon.

Recipe: Simple Mashed Rutabagas and Potatoes

Chef and cookbook author Vivian Howard includes rutabagas among the Eastern North Carolina ingredients featured in her book Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South. In this recipe, we pair "bagars" with Yukon Gold potatoes for creamy texture.

Recipe: Transparent Pie with Whipped Crème Fraîche and Sugared Cranberries

Reminiscent of other Depression-era pies like buttermilk, chess, or egg pie, Transparent Pie hails from the bluegrass state, Kentucky. For our recipe, we kept the filling simple and classic but added two special toppings that are perfect for a festive Thanksgiving spread— Sugared Cranberries and Whipped Crème Fraîche.

Recipe: Sea Island Crab Fried Rice

We adapted this signature Gullah Geechee dish from cookbook author Sallie Ann Robinson's first cookbook, Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way. It takes just 30 minutes to make, especially if you start with leftover rice, which our Test Kitchen recommends anyway.

Old-School Squash Casserole

Recipe: Old-School Squash Casserole

If you're looking for a recipe that tastes like Grandma's table, this Old-School Squash Casserole fits the bill. Some tips from our Test Kitchen for the best consistency? It's important to get as much liquid out of the squash during the initial cooking process as possible to prevent a watery casserole. When sautéing, stir the squash often to release steam and prevent browning. Don't overcook it, which will cause the casserole to be mushy – remember the squash still has to be baked. Gently fold the squash into the egg-cheese mixture to avoid mashing and breaking it into small pieces. Straining the squash helps to remove excess water that leaches out of the cooked squash, and it cools the squash before it is added to the casserole.

Double-Decker Pecan Cheesecake Pie

Recipe: Double-Decker Pecan Cheesecake Pie

Inspired by an early iteration of Texas Pecan Pie, which had an egg custard filling instead of today's corn syrup-based version, this creation combines the best of both. Pecan pie purists might be converted once they try a bite of this layered delight.

Recipe: Fried Arkansas Black Apples

Though many modern fried apple recipes call for "firm and tart" types, like Granny Smiths, we're partial to the deep sweetness of Arkansas black apples. Plus, they add a gorgeous hue to your sideboard.

Recipe: Georgia Peanut Pie with Peanut Butter Crust and Brown Sugar-Bourbon Whipped Cream

Around half of the country's peanut crop comes from South Georgia, and this peanut-filled pie is an ode to the region. A crunchy, cookie-like peanut butter crust is filled with a creamy, peanut butter-and-sorghum mixture and topped with salty cocktail peanuts for added texture. As if that wasn't enough, we went ahead and upped the whipped cream game by adding brown sugar, bourbon, and vanilla extract.

Spoon bread has been gracing Southern tables since the late 18th century. "It's satisfying like cornbread, it's comforting like custard, and it creates anticipation and delight like an airy soufflé," writes Nancie McDermott.

As if apple pie wasn't delicious enough on its own, we topped this version with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel sauce that's spiked with apple brandy. Your family will love the unique taste and color the Arkansas Black Apples give this Thanksgiving go-to, but if you can't find them in your area, Granny Smiths will work just fine.

This old-school onion soufflé recipe came to us back in 1979 from Mrs. James S. Tiffany of Dallas, Texas. This fluffy side dish gets just the right amount of sweetness from a touch of sugar. Chopped pecans add a welcome crunch.

Recipe: Cushaw Pie with Vanilla Bean Custard Sauce

Unfortunately, the cushaw, a delicate squash found in the Southern and Southwestern parts of the country, is at risk of going extinct. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a cushaw, roast and puree it to make this distinctive dessert. (Or you can substitute plain canned pumpkin puree for the filling.) Either way, top each slice with our smooth and rich Vanilla Bean Custard Sauce and a few candied pecans.

Beloved in Louisiana, mirlitons are pale green, pear-shaped squash that have roots in ancient Mayan and Aztec foodways. They risked being wiped out in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, but thanks to passionate residents like Renee Lapeyrolerie, mirlitons have been revitalized in the area.

Modern scalloped oysters likely have roots in oyster pie, a traditional Virginia dish that dates back to the 1700s, according to Bernie Herman, a renowned folklorist and professor of Southern studies at UNC Chapel Hill.

Recipe: Caramel Tart with Brandy Whipped Cream

Renowned chef, cookbook author, and lifelong champion of the food of the South Edna Lewis's recipe for Caramel Pie inspired our Test Kitchen to create this tart. Of her pie, she wrote: "This is a very haunting dessert, so rich and sweet one could easily overindulge. It's great after a heavy meal, to be served as tiny tarts or in very slender wedges." We topped our "slender wedges" of tart with a dollop of whipped cream spiked with a little brandy.

Recipe: Classic Candied Yams

Candied yams are even more old-school than that sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top that your aunt always brings to Thanksgiving. One of the best parts about this side dish is that it only has 20 minutes of hands-on time, and you can assemble the dish up to 3 days in advance. Make the recipe through step 3, store it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it Thanksgiving Day.
