Not only do I love this time of year because of the weather, but I also enjoy it because of all of the fresh produce that seems to pop up everywhere. I try to visit my local farmer’s market whenever I have the chance, as I love browsing through all of the fruits and veggies. From corn to strawberries and everything in between, I love it all.

Sometimes I come home with bags of goodies and every once in a while, I buy a little too much of something. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, so I’m left with produce that will eventually go to waste.

But since I’m a food blogger, I love finding new dishes and am always up for the challenge. So when La Terra Fina sent me their Classic Lorraine Quiche, I couldn’t wait to make it for dinner. The quiche comes pre-made, so all you have to do is pop it in the oven. Pretty easy, huh? It makes for a delicious summer meal without hardly any prep work! And best of all, it tastes just like homemade dish that you whipped up in your own kitchen.

Filled with bacon, swiss cheese, and an egg white custard, the Classic Lorraine Quiche is full of flavor and the perfect dish to serve for dinner. And if you’re trying to watch those calories for swim suit season, then you’ll love La Terra Fina’s wholesome foods. Since their quiches are made with egg whites, you can eat a healthier meal, without sacrificing flavor!

Since I already had the main dish prepared, I decided to whip up this Roasted Garlic Green Bean Salad to go alongside the quiche. It’s a great way to use up those leftover farmer’s market veggies and takes just minutes to prepare. Plus, the hubster loves green beans, so I knew he’d go crazy over this salad.

So if you love garlic, then you need to to make this salad right now.

  9. This is one beautiful, eye-popping side dish Gayle, and I love roasted garlic! That has to be the light concrete Erickson board right (with some black)? I just ordered one and cannot wait to get it. And this is the perfect side!

    • Thank you, Marcie! It's actually a mix of the light concrete and steel. I think it just looks lighter in this picture, but it's actually a bit dark in person! :) I hope you LOVE your boards...I want to order them all! :)

  22. This is such a simple and delicious option, Gayle. We grew green beans in our garden for the first time this year and they took off! I've been struggling to figure out easy ways to prepare them so that we're not all tired of the same old steamed beans. Love this version!
