beans, chickpeas, sirloin steak, lean chicken, spinich, raisin bran, whole wheat bread, clams or oysters, tofu, apricots, spinch, broccoli, eggs... or take an iron supplament.
Also, make sure you're getting enough vitamin C because vitamin C increases iron absortion. So have a glass of orange juice with your iron rich foods. And don't drink soda or tea with your iron rich foods because it can actually block or decrease iron absortion.

Put your search engine to work. I typed in 'foods high iron' (no quotes) and found this right off:
"top ten iron rich foods
· clams, cooked, 3 oz (23.8 mg)
· tofu, 1/2 cup firm (13.2 mg)
· raisin bran, ready-to-eat, 3/4 cup (4.5 mg)
· sirloin steak, cooked, 3 oz (2.9 mg)
· shrimp, cooked, 3 oz (2.6 mg)
· black beans, boiled, 1/2 cup (1.8 mg)
· chickpeas, canned, 1/2 cup (1.6 mg)
· turkey breast, 3 oz (0.9 mg)
· bread, whole wheat, 1 slice (0.9 mg)
· chicken breast, skinless, 1/2 breast (0.9 mg)
Tea with meals can act as an iron blocker.
Other iron blockers include carbonates, oxalates, and phosphates. Foods that contain these iron blockers include, cranberries, rhubarb, spinach, and soda "
