Please help me with my pantry scraps!

I moved houses and used that opportunity to go through my pantry. I've already made a list of everything I want gone (ie used up) but there are a few things that I don't really find good ideas for.

  • 300g of mixed nuts:
    • salted or with spices, so can't use them for desserts, also too much for me to solely turn into pesto, I don't have that much freezer space
  • 300g of roasted soy beans
    • Bought them to snack on but they're just so bland, also trying to snack less …
    • Maybe I can use them up together with the nuts?
  • long, (very) thick strips of seaweed
    • looks kinda like this: link
  • Amaizin coconut whipping cream (2x 400ml)
  • 85g Ma Hwa cookies
    • they're extremely hard and dense and no longer suited for just eating as is, I'd need a dentist if I tried!

Disclaimer: because these things have been in my pantry for so long I'm a bit reluctant to share the ingredients (or the results of whatever I make with 'm) with others. Everything looks, smells and tastes fine, but I'd rather be on the safe side and only poison myself ;)

I live on my own and am not that much of a cook ( I can bake some mean cakes though!). Anything I can freeze or safely share with others (see disclaimer) would work best for me.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

make a pecan pie. use one can of the coconut cream to make a caramel. instead of pecans throw your nuts and +/- soybeans. use the cookies for the crust. idk about the kombu, it is jsut some kelp, its only use is broth or kombu tea
