Answer 2

Tapioca pudding is high in calcium and delicious when made at home.

1/3 C sugar
3 T Minute tapioca
2 3/4 C milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
For chocolate tapioca pudding:
Increase sugar to 1/2 C, increase milk to 3 cups, and add 3 squares Bakers semi-sweet baking chocolate to saucepan before cooking.

Mix sugar, tapioca, milk and egg in saucepan; let stand 5 minutes. Cook on medium heat stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool 20 minutes; stir. Pudding thickens as it cools.

Cheese Quesadillas are high in calcium and you can do so many things with them.

1 c. mixed Cheddar and Jack cheeses, grated
1/4 c. drained, diced green chilies
(4 oz. can) Sour cream Salsa (optional)
You can also add re-fried beans, beans have calcium in them.

Place 1 of the tortillas in a large heavy skillet. Sprinkle 1/3 of both the cheeses and the chilies on top. Stack the second tortilla and add cheeses and chilies. Top with the third tortilla.
Cover and cook the quesadilla over medium-high heat until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes, or until tortilla is crisped and golden brown. Flip and cook on opposite side for another 3 minutes or until crisped. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting surface with a spatula and cut into 6 wedges. Garnish with sour cream and salsa.

Answer 3

spinach, broccoli, collard greens, butterbur, watercress, nopales, etc, dark greens are usually a good source of calcium. and of course milk and cheese, look on a recipe site for something like a casserole or a sort of vegetable cheese bake and combine these things, veggies and cheese are good! tofu is very high in calcium too.

You'll find a bunch of high calcium recipes if you google.
You can add calcium to many regular foods (like casseroles, shakes, puddings, sauces, cereal) by adding nonfat dry milk.
