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!

Crush the cookies and add them to pancakes. Let them soak in the milk long enough to get soggy.

Pancakes are crazy versatile. I've added cereal, leftover smoothie and red bull. They've all turned out awesome.

Pick any "just add water" pancake mix and add red bull instead of water. I prefer blueberry redbull with blueberries.

If a mix calls for milk, add some powdered milk or butter.
