One of the most underrated WeHa restaurants out there🔥@elsantoct - Birria Tostones (A MUST!!), Guac Trio, Campechanos and Churros I don’t see this place on my timeline enough! It makes me feel like it’s the not-so-hidden hidden gem of West Hartford… Everything I’ve gotten here from margaritas to churros has been amazing! Perfect for a girls night out or birthday dinner (which is pretty much every table in there) because the vibes are UP! Or just a fun date night. The options are endless… But make sure you go for more than drinks because you won’t be disappointed by the food! Been 3 times in the last month alone but just the thought of those tostones makes me want to hit happy hour today… well, decision made - see you soon El Santo 😏#weha #westhartfordfoodie #westhartford #westhartfordfoodies #tostones #tacotuesday #tacotuesday🌮 #foodgram #cheatdayeats #cheatday #mexicanfood #ctfoodlover #ctfoods #ctfoodie #ctfoodies #ctfoodblogger by @eatwithashlyn

PSA - you don’t have to give up fries when trying to eat healthier 🍟Low Cal High Protein Loaded Cheese Fries (For 3ish)-2 medium russet potatoes peeled and sliced into fries-1 tablespoon oil-salt, pepper, taco seasoning-1lb ground turkey -1 tablespoons oil -3 cloves garlic-1 pepper chopped-1 onion minced -1 tablespoon tomato paste-1-2 blended chipotle peppers from a can-1 pack taco seasoning -salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, a bit of cayenne-1/4 cup Greek yogurt -1/4 cup low fat shredded mozz -1/4 low fat shredded cheddar (plus more for topping)Top w @traderjoes cowboy caviar (SO GOOD!), more cheese and low fat sour cream or a mixture of Greek yogurt, lime and seasonings like I did. 1. Heat the air fryer to 390 degrees. Coat the potatoes in the one tablespoon of oil. Season with some salt, pepper and taco seasoning. 2. Cook in 2 batches. Cook for about 8 minutes, toss and then another 5-7 minutes. Watch so they don’t get too dark. Tip: add the first batch back to the air fryer in the last 2 minutes of the second batch to reheat.3. In a pan on medium high heat, add the 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the onion and cook until soft - about 5 minutes. Add the chopped pepper and garlic. Cook another 5 minutes. Season throughout with salt, smoked paprika and taco seasoning. I like adding extra cumin but add to taste. 4. Add the turkey to the pan with more seasoning. Cook until no longer pink. Add the chipotle peppers and tomato paste. 5. After a couple minutes of cooking to combine. Lower the heat to low. Add the Greek yogurt and both cheeses. Taste and see if you need anymore seasoning.6. To serve add the fries, top with some cheese, add the turkey mixture, top with some more cheese (optional) and Trader Joe’s cowboy caviar (its a salsa with beans and corn) and sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime.

What being indecisive looks like:Desserts from a few months ago at @bar.volpe … I think their menu changes often so the only thing still on there is the Gelato En Brioche (I could be wrong) I’m a little delayed on posting this but what an awesome ending to an absolutely DELICIOUS meal at Bar Volpe. Unfortunately, but fortunately, I got so swept up in the food I had here this was the only picture I took 🥲 Seriously though, this place is absurdly amazing. The staff were so attentive and the food… YUM… I just can’t believe how good everything was. I’m still thinking about the Pollo Arrosto my boyfriend got. It was one of the best things I’ve tasted in a VERY long time. The waiter explained the process - they take a whole chicken and put truffle mayo under the skin and put on a rotisserie for hours…O M G. I think he said the process takes days and yuppp, its worth it. The squid ink pasta with lobster and chili crisp was amazing too. I love that good classic combo. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK!! Make your reservations asap and make them early because they have a certain amount of chicken dishes a night!#bostonfood #bostonfoodie #bostonfoodgram #bostonfoodblogger #dessertporn #desserttime #desserttables #dessertpic #chocolatecake #foodpics #bostoneats #bostoneater #sweettooth #restaurantreview by @eatwithashlyn

Poppin’ up on your timeline with a tasty popcorn chicken bowl🍿🍗You can really use any kind of sauce on these little chicken bites but I’m loving the @lymanorchards sauces lately so I’ve been using those! Bangin’ Popcorn Chicken -1lb chicken cut into 1 inch pieces -1 egg-1/2 cup cornstarch -salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, a bit of cayenne -spray oil -A couple tablespoons of @lymanorchards “Amazing Dipping Sauce” but any banging/yum yum sauce/spicy mayo/sweet chili/etc would work -added Greek yogurt, a little sriracha and a bit of water because the sauce if very calorie dense. I want to make less sauce go further by adding to it but not too much to lose the flavor1. Turn the air fryer on 375 degrees.2. Toss the chicken in spices and coat in egg.3. One by one, add the chicken to the cornstarch in another bowl. Coat until covered. 4. Spray the air fryer w oil. Add the chicken so they aren’t touching (probably in 2 batches). Spray with a little oil once in the air fryer. 5. Cook for 10-12 minutes until golden. 6. Toss in sauce above - or any sauce of your choice.7. I served mine with half a potato mashed w a little butter, Greek yogurt and cream cheese and honey glazed carrots.

My love language: buffalo chicken dip anything❤️‍🔥This is my new absolute favoriteee weeknight dinner or football Sunday snack!! It’s so so good I can’t believe it’s pretty low cal high and high protein. Seriously, I CRAVE these daily. You could also make this filling into a dip, bake for a little and serve with chips! Low Cal Buffalo Chicken Dip Crispy TacosFor the chicken:-1-1.5 lb chicken breast-2 cups low sodium chicken broth-3 tablespoons hot sauce-salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne(Could sub rotisserie chicken) Remaining ingredients:-8-10 low cal small tortillas. I used @olemex_labanderita whole wheat carb counter (50 cals each)-1 red pepper chopped-1 onion chopped-5 tablespoons low fat whipped cream cheese-1/4 cup buffalo sauce (to taste. Add more if desired)-1/4 cup plain lowfat greek yogurt-1/2 cup low fat shredded mozzarella-1/4 cup low fat shredded cheddar (plus more for topping if desired)-spray olive oil-salt to taste 1. Add the chicken to an instant pot with stock, hot sauce and spices. Pressure cook on high for 7 mins. Once done, shred in the liquids and let sit until ready to use.2. Preheat the oven to 375. 3. In a pan on medium, sauté the onion with some spray oil, salt, pepper and any other seasonings of your choice. 4. Once soft - about 5-7 minutes - add the red pepper. Cook for another couple mins and add broth or the leftover broth from the instant pot chicken if it starts to get dry. Set aside.5. Add the shredded chicken to a large bowl. Add the cream cheese, greek yogurt, hot sauce, and cheeses and mix. If cooled, add the pepper and onion. Combine.6. Spray some olive oil on a baking sheet. Put about 1/4 cup (or more if you want them thicker) on the half of a warmed tortilla. Fold over and press. Repeat until you’re out of filling.7. Bake for about 10 mins, take out to sprinkle more cheddar and put back in the oven for another ~5 minutes until cheese is melted and the tortilla looks crisp.8. ENJOY!!~580 calories for 3 tacos with 50 grams of protein. Really depends on the size you make… I like mine thick! by @eatwithashlyn

Who doesn’t love some breakfast for dinner?? 🥞This was from a couple Fridays ago when I was craving some breakfast for dinner - so protein pancakes it was! I’m a sweet breakfast kinda gal so this was my heaven. Not only are they tasty and healthy but super easy to make (esp if you have a mixer or don’t mind beating some egg whites). So versatile - add whatever toppings or any spices/extracts you want and enjoy!Protein pancakes (makes 4): ~400 calories for 2. 30 grams of protein (Without toppings)-1 cup @kodiakcakes protein pancake mix-1 scoop of vanilla protein of your choice. I used @drinkorgain -2 eggs (yolks separated from whites)-1/4 cup @fairlife 2% milk (or more if needed) -1 teaspoon vanilla I added cinnamon sugar and a little nutmeg and cloveI topped mine with berries, a mixture of @pbfit peanut powder, water, honey and a little bit of vanilla extract. Drizzled a little bit of low calorie syrup to finish!1. Separate the yolk from the whites and set aside. Whip egg whites in a mixer until stiff peaks form - don’t be like me and do this by hand unless you wanna get a workout in lol2. In a separate bowl, add the protein powder, yolks, spices (optional), protein powder, vanilla and milk until a pourable, but not too runny texture. Add more milk if needed.3. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites and try to not over mix4. Cook in a hot pan with a little butter or spray oil. 5. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy :) #breakfastfordinner #breakfastideas #breakfastideas #healthybreakfast #highprotein #highproteinbreakfast #proteinpacked #proteinpancakes #proteinbreakfast #recipeblog #recipeshare #easydinner #easyrecipeideas #lowcalorie #lowcaloriemeals #healthyrecipeshare #lowcalrecipes by @eatwithashlyn

Happy New Year foodies! It’s been a while but some reasoning is below:I stopped posting because I was always looking for the ‘perfect’ picture or reel that will get good engagement and because of that, I started feeling like every pic and video I took was never good enough… I was discouraged because I don’t have time to make a lot of reels and thats really what makes you popular. It wasn’t until I started looking back at my old recipes on this page to make my grocery lists I realized I want to do this page for ME. I want a way to document the healthy food that I think tastes so dang good and even if 1 person tried something on here and loves it that brings me joy.So with that said, hello again everyone! I made my first grilled cheese in YEARS and took a pic of it. Nothing too exciting or different except this was only about 310 calories for one and a half grilled cheeses!! So one is only around 200! Then add a soup, salad or protein shake on the side and you got a great balanced meal. I had some soup with this too that wasn’t pictured to get some protein in :)What you need for 1 grilled cheese - about 200 cals:2 slices of @schmidtoldtyme 647 white bread (literally the best low calorie high fiber bread EVER - 40 cals a slice, 8g of fiber) 2 slices of @velveeta sliced cheese1/8-1/4 cup reduced fat mexican cheese (the more you add the better of course but the calories above was with 1/8 cup)1/2 tablespoon of lowfat mayo to spread on both sides before cookingSpray oil of your choice I like the combo of velveeta and a little mexican cheese to get even more of that ooey gooeyness but any shredded low fat will work. Glad to be back yall - ill post some more ‘exciting’ recipes soon❤️#lowcalorie #highfiberdiet #highfibre #healthyfood #healthytwist #kidfriendlymeals #healthylifestyle #foodblogger #foodiegram #grilledcheese #cheeselover #homecookedmeal #recipeshare #easymeals #10minutemeals #athomecook #simplemeals by @eatwithashlyn
