Garlic Green Beans

During the cooler months, fresh vegetables are less plentiful, but I can always find fresh green beans in the produce section of the Piggly Wiggly. When I mention Piggly Wiggly on my TikTok Channel I always get comments from followers telling me that they thought Piggly Wiggly was only in movies.

Piggly Wiggly is alive and well with over 45 stores across the state of South Carolina alone and it is so much more than just a grocery store! It is often found in small towns with minimal other food sources and is a central location for not only food but animal feed, holiday décor and household items.

The Piggly Wiggly is invaluable to rural areas across our state and always there when we need it! Whether you get your green beans at the Piggly Wiggly or straight from the garden, this recipe will please the garlic lover in your life!
