It's so nice to read that I'm not the only one with piles of paper that grow out of nowhere... :-) I love having visitors too. Have fun!

My piles of paper even reproduce and make baby piles during the night D! Its so frustrating-wish I could get the organization thing down:) Maygan, the tetrizinni is usually spagetti, with a creamy base, cheese, chicken or turkey, veggies (onions and peppers but mine was onions and celery) and broth and then baked. Its a really good freezer meal. I was wondering if that was why you had so many yummy mexican recipes on your menu plans! I'll have to try the Albondigas sometime.
