      Mmm! I’ve been anemic off and on for several years, so I’m always looking for new ways to integrate iron rich foods into my diet. Those soups look great, and I’m pretty excited about the lentils and goat cheese recipe. Looks simple enough. I think the key is to find recipes that are easy to put together, with ingredients most people have around the house. All those recipes that have gobs of ingredients are really fairly impractical, because you have to make a special trip to the store just for that one meal.

    Oh my gosh! This is so exciting to read!! I’ve been iron deficient for years now, off and on, and even though I’m no longer deficient right now, I still make a conscious effort to consume enough iron…and I don’t eat red meat! The walnut bread looks especially interesting!
