Pecan Chewies

What's expiring this week? Pecans and self-rising flour. What can you do with those ingredients? Pecan blondies! Don't make these if you're trying to lose weight. The brown sugar/pecan combination is ADDICTING! It was hard not to eat a half a pan in one night. I will definitely be keeping this one in my recipe box to bring to a party. Your guests will thank you-or not if they eat too many. Haha.

Wild Rice Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Moving forward, my blogs will be based on expiring inventory and the recipes that I find to use up those items. Wild rice and mushrooms were on the list this week. I chose to use a crockpot rather than my InstantPot because wild rice takes so long to cook at 6500 ft elevation. I ended up adding heavy whipping cream instead of the flour roux and some pepper. So, so good. :)

Broiled Thai Sweet Chili Salmon

I've recently started using a pantry inventory app and now know what I have and when it's set to expire. One of those items was a bottle of Thai Sweet Chili. This recipe made one of the best broiled salmons I've had in a long time. I ended up throwing some cauliflower on the pan with the salmon and using the extra sauce over the veggies, then served over a bed of rice. Yum!
