When I feel I need/want some iron, I usually make a spaghetti sauce with lots of spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini. The spinach is the vegetable that provides the most iron in this combo; mushrooms provide a bit and I just like the zucchini (plus it's good for other vitamins and minerals). Use cremini mushrooms (baby portobellos) for a meatier flavor. If you serve it on top of pasta fortified with iron, all the better.
Also, fortified cereals can be a good source of iron.
