Finding good sources of calcium for my daughter's diet has been challenging. Calcium-enriched OJ? Nope. Tums? Nope (contains corn starch). My first effort at adding non-dairy sources of calcium is to add Spinach-Strawberry Salad to our weekly menu (no fancy recipe -- just spinach and strawberries). We especially like Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette on this salad... and on just about everything else.
Next on the list to increase our calcium is to try tofu. It is sitting in the fridge just waiting for the perfect recipe to come along. An article in this month's Taste of Home (that sadly I cannot find on their website) suggests dry-roasted nuts, dried figs, salmon, great northern beans, and apple/cinnamon oatmeal as good sources as well. I love to use great northern beans, but that will have to be another post!
