<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we get into a green bean and salad rut, unable to imagine 5 vegetables a day.  In the fight to get more fruits and vegetables on the table, this recipe is a clear winner.

You want to cook the squash only until barely fork tender, not  mushy.  Stir in the oregano as you take the squash off the heat.  As a variation, my family also likes this with an onion added to the squash and some Parmesan cheese thrown in with the oregano, but that's another meal.]]></description>
