Eating for Two: Brown Rice with Lentils and Apricots

A cup or OJ (or anything similarly acidic) helps improve iron absorption. Making an acidic food, such as tomato sauce, in a cast iron pot will add a good deal of iron to a meal.

It really matters what iron supplement you take, too - ask your OB - iron can be really harsh on your stomach, but I find Schiff's Gentle Iron far more tolerable. Your OB can help you figure out what dose, pregnancy changes things a lot. I just recall that my doctor said the dosage on the bottle has little to do with what your body will absorb, so they need to do some calculations for you. Best of luck - I understand what you're saying about thinking iron supplementation is a scam, I've thought the same for the longest time about calcium, gingivitis, acid reflux - any ailments which allow the drug companies to supply us with expensive supplements, or which require extensive dental work - hee hee. Nonetheless, you need to pay attention when your iron levels show as too low. Take care!

Chocolate. (We have either ham or turkey, whichever we have not had most recently. Never lamb, which my family won't eat.)

My family likes ham on Easter so I never get what I want: Roast Lamb with Mint Jelly.
