    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.

Grill For a Guilt-Free Supper

Flank Steak with Radish Salsa

Recipe: Flank Steak With Radish Salsa

For a supper low in calories and fat, try this completely grilled menu for six. Yes! You can grill bread and even banana splits while sticking to your healthy eating plan. Grilling enhances flavor without adding fat, so is a natural choice for great-tasting, low calorie dishes.

The menu stars a classic grilled flank steak. Flank steak is a naturally lean cut of beef (less than 10 grams of fat per 3.5-ounce serving) and a budget-friendly steak choice. Sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning and grill on each side for 8 minutes. Serve on top Italian-Herb Bread.

Balsamic Grilled Veggies

Recipe: Balsamic Grilled Veggies

Grilling vegetables is easy. Put fresh zucchini and squash to good use in this recipe. A grill basket keeps smaller vegetables like cherry tomatoes and mushrooms out of the flames and can be used for fish too.

Grilled Banana Splits with Chocolate Sauce

Recipe: Grilled Banana Splits with Chocolate Sauce

Banana splits on the grill? Why not! Fruits are especially delicious on the grill because their sugars will caramelize over the heat, adding rich, mouthwatering flavor. We grilled banana halves and pineapple slices to create a new spin on a classic parlor dessert―the banana split.
