For this week's meal I made a spicy chicken soup recipe I found at allrecipes.com. It reminded me a lot of a taco soup except with shredded chicken instead of ground beef. We added tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream on top. It was very good!

Here's a nice hearty soup for a cold winter night, add a loaf of fresh bread and you're set. My mom likes a glass of red wine with it, I go with white....

Hi Meredith!
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe for the cheesecake: I'm trying it this week and will let you know how it goes!
By the way, the black and white picture of you and Stephen is gorgeous: you will make the most beautiful couple!
In Him,
Alice
Hi Meredith-
I know you're not vegetarian but my husband and I am. We subscribe to veggiemealmaker.com. Every Thursday, you can download 5 days worth of dinner recipes and a detailed shopping list. The site also provides cost comparisons for buying those groceries at several different stores (ie Walmart vs. Albertsons vs. Whole Foods). It costs $1.50 per week and you get 20% off for subscribing for three months. Many of the meals are very simple (which is nice for busy nights) and some are more complex. Many have turned out to be delicious! They are things like chili and cornbread, lasagna and garlic bread, etc. I'm sure you would be able to add meat to the recipes to make them fit your tastes. I think you can download a trial week on the site to see if you'd be interested. Thought this tip might help you in your meal-planning. It has been a huge time-saver for me, and has helped open my eyes to some recipes that I might not have thought of otherwise!

P.S. I found this by Googling "weekly vegetarian meal plans" but if you Googled "meal plans", you might find other similar options.
Thanks for the recipe, amulbunny!
Alice, how neat that my cheesecake recipe is being made in Italy! Please do let me know how it goes for you. I hope it turns out beautifully! Thank you for your kind words about the black & white picture I added. That is very sweet of you. :)
Janine, that sounds like a great idea. I am saving the link and will look into that. Although we are not vegetarians, it would be nice to have a lot of options that don't include meat since it can be so expensive. Thanks so much for letting me know!
The soup sounds so yummy!! :) and i love your new profile picture!! Meredith, you're gorgeous! :)
This sounds delicious!! I'll have to try it sometime! :)
This looks like a great recipe - I am a big soup person, especially when the fall winds start to blow. My neighbor is giving me a few of his chickens in exchange for some notary work I'm doing for him. I think I will try this, thanks for posting it! And all the best in your upcoming nuptuals!
I got a new recipe up this week! :) http://recipesfromclara.blogspot.com/2010/10/pasta-salad.html
I just actually StumbledUpon your blog and read your courtship story. It's amazing, I had something similar happen to me! My husband and I met online through a random chat on AOL Instant Messenger. Seriously it was random but of course it was the Lord's providence. We met online and it's just amazing at how perfect we are for each other.
Congratulations on your engagement.
Jessica
