Baked Butternut Squash

I've always enjoyed eating healthy and have tried to eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can.  However, I have learned, by being a part of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), that there are a variety of yummy things that grow from the earth that I have been oblivious to.  Butternut Squash is one of those things.  This is the first recipe my husband and I made from the many butternut squashes we have had this season.  Jeremy and I give it 2 thumbs up!  I  love how easy it is!
