2 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 medium carrots, shredded

1 small zucchini, shredded

1 small summer squash, shredded

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

2 tablespoons wheat germ

1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

1 egg, slightly beaten

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons soy sauce
