I remember the day well. I think it was the day Sara Beth, Sarah, Kara and I had gone to the spa for one of the sessions I gave each of us as a Christmas present. When we walked in the door and I saw cold kidney beans on Kallsen's plate, I said, "Adam, what is he eating?" I couldn't believe it. Kallsen was putting those little cold rinsed kidney beans away in record time. It made me laugh then, and it makes me terribly proud to know now that they are known as Grandma's beans!
I borrowed Adam's post (and added the pictures) so you could get the whole story as it happened. Thanks Adam!
Grandma's Beans

Beans for Dinner
"Tonight was a boys night at our house. Sara had a class tonight so the three boys and I were on our own. When Joseph and I picked up Kallsen and Parker I asked them what they wanted for dinner. Kallsen said he wanted beans. I asked what kind of beans do you want? He said, "grandma's beans."Grandmas beans are just kidney beans rinsed and plain on a plate. One time at Grandma's house Kallsen went to the pantry and grabbed a can of kidney beans and said that's what he wanted to eat. And he's loved them ever since. Not heated in any way...just rinsed and served cold on a plate."
