I think several of the "Dinner-Belles" have made pennies from heaven, but I thought I'd include the recipe/how to do on our blog. Pennies from heaven were created by the kids I nanny, they are a lunch time favorite! I don't remember exactly how the name came about, I think while I was making them one day and I was in a silly mood and told they kids they were pennies. Natalie and Andrew were commenting on how much they LOVED the pennies, that I must have said "they are like pennies from heaven!" The name stuck and to this day they ask for pennies from heaven quite regularly!
1. Slice your zucchini in semi-thick circles.
2. Sometimes I chopped the zucchini circles in half, I know, they don't look like pennies anymore but they are easier to flip around in a pan. So, whatever you prefer.
3. Heat about 1 Tablespoon of EVOO in a larger pan over Medium-High Heat. Coat the pan evenly, and add the zucchini. Fry the zucchini in the pan for about 2 minutes, mixing them around getting them evenly coated with the oil. Make sure to keep the zucchini moving in the pan our they will burn.
4. Add 1/4 Cup of water to the pan and cover. Let simmer for about 1 min, no more than 2... depending on how "cooked" you like your vegetables.
5. Serve as a side dish with a little salt cracked over them.

I crave these on a daily basis. I love them, one suggestion I just received was to sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of them (fresh is better).
