I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat red meat or seafood as much as I should because I don't have that much time or skill to cook meats at home. I also have a hard time with taking iron supplement pills. What are some foods that I can prepare easily that can help supply iron to my body? I've had anemia before and took iron pills, but if I could avoid taking pills that would be great!

Green vegetables, like spinach and broccoli, are good sources for iron.

i think, if you want iron in your body, you need to stop gorging yourself on smoothies, dark chocolate, almonds and kimchi. You need to start eating red meat and being a real human being.
Also, I think two tablespoons full of DD syrup might help. Just a thought.

Maybe you are just SICK. When you are sick, one of the tricks of the body is to lower the iron level. This deprives the bacteria of a needed building block and they can't spread so fast. This is known as Evolutionary Biology.

Lots of foods, like spinach (great in salads), tofu, chickpeas, and soybeans.
Here are a couple of sites that give you an idea:
