This time of year - zucchini is abundant! My grandma Kincaid made something similar when I was little, but hers had hamburger in it. I wanted to make a meatless version with low Weight Watcher points. I have to tell you....this was delicious and filling.
Cut your zucchini in chunks/"logs", scoop out the seeds - not all the way to the bottom - you want some zucchini to hold in the filling.
I then took some cooked brown rice (1 C), some shredded carrots, 1 clove garlic minced, 1 can of cannellini beans (or any bean would do) and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Do NOT add any water - just the soup - the juice from the zucchini while cooking will be the liquid. S&P
There was enough filling to do 4 "logs" - fill with the mixture and bake covered at 350 till zucchini is fork tender. Bake uncovered for last 10 minutes or so.

I have never heard of zucchini logs. They look like stuffed peppers. Sounds good!
