Notes:

*Good as a "new baby" gift - just prepare up through step 8 in disposable cooking tray and deliver immediately with garnish and yogurt sauce in separate container. And leave out the jalapenos for nursing mamas!
*Can easily add canned chicken or cooked small shrimp to veggie mixture.
*Makes an impressive dish but is really easy and quick!
*Freeze any leftover veggie/cheese mixture and thaw before proceeding with step 5.
*Kids can help by stirring the veggie mixture.
