Zucchini Logs

Ingredients

• 5 regular sized zucchini
• 1 (6 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheese, like Taco blend
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope vegetable soup mix

Directions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine cream cheese, soup mix and shredded cheese.

2. 2

   Set aside.

3. 3

   Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.

4. 4

   Cut off the ends of the zucchini and then cut them in half, lengthwise.

5. 5

   With a teaspoon, gut the zucchini (but not all the way down to the skin) making sure to leave a little bit of flesh at the skinny tip of the squash.

6. 6

   (You want there to be enough room that you can stuff the zucchini, but you want to have more than filler and skin).

7. 7

   Fill the zucchini halves with the cheese mixture. (Don't be afraid to really stuff them.).

8. 8

   Place zucchini on cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes.

9. 9

   After cooking, you may leave them in the oven to remain warm, but note that they will continue to brown on top. I happen to like that, some don't.
