                         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.
