The Andersen household rarely lets a week go by without consuming Bean and Cheese Crisps for at least one meal. (That’s what they call them in Arizona, where Neil was raised.) This is a go-to meal for our babysitters to make when we are away, Sunday afternoons after church, or week days before school. The beans add a bit of nutrition and fiber to an otherwise calorie dense food.
