Hope this helps,

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm trying to add the green leafy stuff, but don't really have ideas other than salad salad salad. I LOVE salads but usually have more toppings (cheese, egg, garbanzo beans, beets, etc) than leafy stuff lol

Also, when you have spinach, try it with lemon juice (like in spanakopita) for the same enhanced availabilty. Lentils are also high in iron.

Thank you so much Bitty Bit....
