Nonstick vegetable spray
  1 1/2 c  Cooked brown rice

      1 c  Zucchini shredded

    1/4 c  Onion, chopped

    1/2 c  Wheat germ

    1/4 c  Walnuts, chopped

      1 c  Med. cheddar cheese shredded

      3    Eggs, lightly beaten

    1/2 ts Thyme

    1/2 ts Marjoram

    1/4 ts Black pepper

  My notes:  Omit wheat germ for gluten-free diet.  Substitute bran if wheat
  germ is not available, used to add fiber.
  Preheat oven to 350 F.  Spray 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick vegetable
  spray.  Combine ingredients and pack into loaf pan.
  Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until brown on edges and firm to touch.  Cut into
  slices.  Serve hot or at room temperature with a salad.
  OR Microwave in glass loaf pan covered with wax paper for 8 minutes on high
  power.  Rotate once.  OR if mixture holds together well enough, shape into
  patties and brown in a non-stick frying pan.
