Growing up, my sister and I often ate pennies. It only seemed right to let Kaitlyn try this simple dish as well. 
Pennies Recipe
1 thawed turkey dog (hot dog is what I ate as a kid)
1 T olive oil
Ketchup
Optional: brown sugar
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Slice turkey dog/hot dog into round pieces that resemble the size/shape of a penny. The slices can be as thick or thin as you wish. 
Add the turkey dog to the skillet and saute in olive oil for two to three minutes. Add a tablespoon of ketchup to start and add more if deemed necessary. You want each piece of turkey dog to be coated with ketchup on all sides. If you want to sweeten the dish, add brown sugar (we didn't think it was necessary for Kaitlyn).
Saute the turkey dog with ketchup for another two minutes until the ketchup has darkened slightly and has a color closer to barbecue sauce. Surpisingly, the tartness in the ketchup diminishes and becomes sweeter after adding the heat to it. The ketchup provides a darker, richer flavor (think milk chocolate compared to dark chocolate) on the turkey dog than regular ketchup provides.
Serve penny size or cut smaller for little ones.*
* Stand by with a wet paper towel or napkin as these are messy if your little one is still eating with his/her hands.
