After 10 days, I am back in town. We don't have tomorrow's menu, but I have a vague idea of what it might look like. We have four packages of tofu in the fridge waiting to be eaten so I will pack marinated and baked tofu in Caroline's lunch tomorrow. I make this recipe at least once every two weeks because it is easy and Caroline loves it. I marinate the tofu the night before and then cook it under the broiler for about 7 minutes.
Caroline's Lunchbox Menu, March 17: Breakfast - O's, pearsauce; Lunch - marinated and baked tofu, brown rice, broccoli; Snacks - pumpkin carrot muffin

About Me
- Betty
- Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
- I am a mom and dietitian who started this blog when I was a full-time doctoral student. I finished my program in August 2008. My dissertation focused on farm to school programs which are programs designed to connect students to their food and to bring locally grown food to the school meals program. Why do I care? I want something different for my daughter Caroline. There is so much that we don't know about the conventional food system and what we do know is frightening. For example, 20 percent of pesticides that have been approved for use in farming are listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogenic to humans. In addition, farm populations and the number of farms in the U.S. are disappearing at an alarming rate. If we don't support our local farmers today, we not only risk losing them but also all of the environmental and social benefits that they provide. This blog is a way to document my experience preparing meals for Caroline that are nutritious and that are made with ingredients grown/raised without harmful chemicals and sourced as close to home (Ann Arbor, Michigan) as possible.

Hey Betty, glad to hear that you are back. Can't wait to see you and hear how it went.
Also, could I get the recipe for the marinated and baked tofu? That sounds good.
