---

 Serves 4

Recipe by Corinne Kinczel 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chile powder (any will do- my favorite right now is the Poblano Mole from Oaktown Spice) 

1 tablespoon garlic powder (one of my favorite ingredients) 

½ cup diced onions, whatever you have 

• did you know that onions help with your heart health, bone health, digestive health and is antiflammitory and has lots of antioxidant?  And also known to prevent cancer!  More onions please! 

1 cup lions mane mushrooms shredded

• did you know that lions mane is really good for your brain function? And also is known to improves memory and mood stabilization! It also plays a role in stimulating gut health, which helps with immune system.(~70% of your immune system depends on your gut health) 

1 cup zucchini half moons 

• did you know that zucchini can improve your digestion, enhance your eye health, heart health and weight management? Neither did I! 

1 poblano pepper- seeded and diced 

• did you know poblano peppers may aid in heart health, reduce inflammation, improving digestion and cancer prevention? Who knew? 

1 cup corn kernels, frozen are fine!

• did you know that corn also aids in digestion, heart health, eye health, and blood control?  Nope. Did not. 

Avocado- much as you want!  Well- within reason. ½-1 depending on size! 

• did you know that avocados lowers the bad and raises the good cholesterol? It also reduces heart disease, supports gut biomes, stabilizes blood sugar, is an antioxidant, great for the skin and so super yummy! I like to use this for a neutral oil when frying or cooking. See link below for link to seed oils and what oils are good/ not so good for you. 

Tomatoes- whatever seems appropriate to you. 

• did you know that tomatoes are great for heart health, eye health, skin health, digestive health, bone health, and have antioxidants and boosts immunity?  And known to help prevent cancer? Nope, but wow! 

Sour cream 

• did you know sour cream can improve your gut health, bone health, heart health, and immune system health? Yum! 

Cilantro  

• did you know cilantro can help improve heart health, digestive health, brain health, blood sugar management and carries antioxidants? I don’t have the gene that makes it takes like soap (did you know ~14% of people do!)  so I say “extra please!”

Egg- fried, poached or scrambled- what’s your favorite?  Totally optional 

• did you know that eggs are excellent for brain health, eye health, hearth health and a super source for protein!  

Salsa- what’s your favorite? Right now I am loving green salsas on eggs, and my favorite is from High Mesa (I’m not affiliated. Just a fan) 

You can sub any veggies to make this dish. I don’t ever measure when I’m cooking, so these are all estimates. Feel free to play around with quantities and ingredients to make it your own! 

Heat olive oil in a skillet. On medium, add chile powder and stir for a minute. The heat activates spices!  Then add onions… stir and cook until golden. 

Add zucchini and peppers…season with some (kosher* or sea*) salt, garlic powder and pepper…  saute until the zucchini is tender. Add lion's mane and corn. Saute until cooked, about 2-4 minutes. 

Add tomatoes at the end. I like them when they are still hold a little body. So they get warm, but not melt into the medley. If they do? Who cares… it’ll just be more saucy. Still delicious! 

And assemble!

*I like to use kosher or sea salt. They are much cleaner, as it’s not as processed (sea salt is actually salt from the sea and the cleanest) as table salt. They also both contain minerals that table salt does not. If customers can’t find it, it doesn’t exist. Clearly list and describe the services you offer. Also, be sure to showcase a premium service.
