Anthony Bourdain's Chicken Salad | I Scored It.
Is Anthony Bourdain's chicken salad healthy? I scored it 7 out of 100 for Nutritional Density. The chicken is fine — it's the mayo. Half a cup adds roughly 800 calories with almost zero vitamins or minerals. Swapped half for Greek yogurt. Nutritional Density moved. Same dish. Different number.
2 cups poached chicken breast, finely diced (1/4-inch cubes)
1/4 cup mayonnaise + 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp celery salt + juice of 1/2 lemon + pinch of salt
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce

I Scored It. 15-Minute Creamy Pasta
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 1 can (15 oz) cannellini (white) beans, drained + rinsed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (half the usual — the beans replace the rest)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
- salt + cracked black pepper, chopped parsley
Method
1. Boil fettuccine in salted water; reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
2. Blend the cannellini beans with the 1/2 cup cream (+ a splash of pasta water) until completely smooth — this is your creamy base.
3. Melt butter, sauté garlic ~1 min until fragrant.
4. Pour in the bean-cream blend, loosen with pasta water, simmer 2–3 min.
5. Stir in parmesan until melted; season with salt + pepper.
6. Toss the drained pasta through, adding pasta water until silky. Finish with parsley + cracked pepper.
Why it scores higher: swapping half the cream for blended white beans cuts the saturated fat and adds fiber + plant protein — same creamy texture, same 15 minutes.

These are the tacos I make when nobody can decide what's for dinner.
Chicken, tortillas, cilantro, onion, lime, and about fifteen minutes of effort. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and somehow everyone is happy.
Some recipes don't need to be complicated.
Save this one for taco night. 🌮

Baked feta pasta earned the hype.
A block of feta, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and pasta. That's the whole thing. The oven does most of the work, the sauce practically makes itself, and somehow it still feels like a dinner you put real effort into.
This is the kind of recipe I come back to when I want something good without turning the kitchen into a project.
Save this for a night when you don't feel like thinking about dinner. 🍅

Chicken piccata that looks way harder than it is
Lemon, capers, butter, a little parsley — the sauce does all the work and it comes together faster than takeout shows up. Save this for the next "what's even for dinner" spiral. 👇 Jumbo Capers: genius or hard pass? Settle it for me.

I thought I was eating enough protein.

Nowhere close.
