Green Rice: Clean and slice up some spinach into ribbons (chiffonade), dice and saute an onion. Toast some sunflower seeds. Use about three cups of cooked rice (long grain brown rice is good for this dish).

Mix rice, sunflower seeds, onion and spinach, place in greased casserole. Cover with egg and milk mixture (salt and pepper to taste). Use one egg for each 1/2 cup of milk. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake at 350 for an hour, til top begins to brown. If you use brown rice, you have a one dish vegetarian meal with good protein value.
