What a nice vegetarian lunch this made when combined with a green salad. Made without using the 1/4 cup milk but did use the pepper jack cheese option and felt it worked very well with the veggies and lemon pepper. As neither DH nor I are overly fond of rutabaga we were both surprised at well it worked with the other flavors in the dish. Will make again. Thanks so much for the post.
