    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    Some containers have all the sun. These shady planters, though, are having plenty of fun sans sun. We’ve gathered all of our favorite shade-loving containers to inspire your planting this season. If you have a shady yard or want to perk up a shaded spot in your home, at your front door, on your porch, or around your patio, put together a pretty shade-loving container that’s also easy to care for. Plants like caladiums and creeping Jenny will thrive in the shade, and they’ll also add great color and movement to your planters. If you’re looking for the best plants for the shade and great flowers that thrive in shade, also reach for impatiens, coleus, sweet potato vines, mazus, vincas, torenias, violas, petunias, pansies, hellebores (Lenten roses), hostas, astilbes, and trilliums. They look great and will thrive in full to partial shade. Shade-loving flowers aren’t too hard to find. Ask around at your local garden store, and you’ll be able to locate the ingredients and put together any one of these shade-tolerant container ideas. Also, in regards to your container, don’t forget to think vertical. We love pots and planters, but a hanging basket is another great option, as is an elevated planter, which will make a statement and take advantage of any vertical space.

These Muffuletta Deviled Eggs Are The Appetizer Your Party Needs

Recipe: Muffuletta Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs have always found their way onto Southern tables, and for good reason. The iconic recipe is the perfect finger food for any get-together or party, as guests can whisk a deviled egg off a passing hors d'oeuvres tray rather simply. Plus, deviled eggs aren't hard to pull together. Our classic deviled egg recipe calls for egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and sweet pickle relish. Once you've mastered this iconic staple, you can move on to trying other varieties. Readers love our Tex-Mex Deviled Eggs and Smoky Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs, and guests go crazy for our Georgia Peach Deviled Eggs that have a hint of sweetness. This deviled egg recipe is just as unique – it dresses up the traditional dish with crispy salami, olive salad, and fresh chives. This appetizer recipe may be a little more unconvential than Nana's used to, but you won't regret serving these bite-size gems at your next shindig.

To start the recipe, you'll first need to prep the Olive Salad. Per classic muffuletta flavors, you'll need mixed pickled vegetables, pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, kalamata olives, olive oil, capers, oregano, pepper, garlic, and a pinch of paprika. Trust us – this Olive Salad brings all of the flavor to these Muffuletta Deviled Eggs. Once you're thrown this all into your food processor, the next steps are easy. Mash the yolks of hard-boiled eggs up finely in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. Then, you'll want to stir in your mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth. Fold in your processed Olive Salad, and pipe or spoon the mixture into the egg white halves. Next, you'll need to prepare the salami. Heat a small skillet over low heat and add thin strips of salami, cooking until lightly browned and crisp. Drain the salami on a paper towel before adding a few pieces to each egg half. Add some fresh chives or green onions onto your eggs, as well, for some bright, fresh color.
