Fried Zucchini and Onions

Do you know what goes well on buttered toast?  Sprinklers.  Or at least that's what my 4 year old calls them.  I gave my little princess a piece of toast and she asked for "sprinklers".  Not honey or jam, but "sprinklers".  Well, since she is so darn cute and knows how to use nice words, like please and thank you, I gave in and she had toast with sprinkles for breakfast.  I opted for homemade jam on my toast.  Just in case you were wondering. :)

Fried Zucchini and Onions has got to be my favorite summer/fall side dish.  I think I could eat it every single day and not tire of it before my garden dried up.  And the kiddos love it too! 

2 tablespoons butter
4 medium sized zucchini squash, sliced fairly thin
1 onion, sliced fairly thin
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Fry the zucchini and onions in the butter, stirring often, until tender, about 10 minutes.  Salt and pepper to taste.
