    Pork.
    Poultry.
    Seafood.
    Beans.
    Dark green leafy vegetables
    Dried fruit
    Iron-fortified cereals, breads and pastas.

    Or just take a multivitamin with iron.

    A few suggestions would be
    - seafood
    - cereal (most is enriched with a lot of iron)
    - beans (can be added to almost everything; I like kidney beans in salad, for example)
    - apricots, raisins, prunes
    - spinach, broccoli, potato
    - some breads are fortified as well, I believe.

    I'm sure there are more options. Hopefully this will get you started.
