Pantry and Fridge

If you're trying to use up a can of sweetened condensed milk and have some extra gifted sprinkles you feel too guilty about throwing out, might I suggest making Brigadeiros?

These helped me clean out the fridge and that sprinkles stash. One of the versions I'm making is matcha vanilla, so I also got to use some of the two tins of matcha powder in the pantry.

The recipe's very straightforward and simple.

Pantry and fridge decluttering has gotten a lot easier with weekly clean-outs and excuses to try new recipes from the random surplus ingredients.

Those look lovely, I hope they were well enjoyed.

and yay for improved decluttering!

They're pretty good for a first try at making them.

Using the random ingredients has also been putting brakes on getting MORE of them. Like - that can of sweetened condensed milk was going to expire in a month, and it'd been in there for a year already. The recipe is fun, sure, but is another can REALLY going to be used up that soon?

Then you reality-check yourself into buying less! It's great.

Win / win!

I've kind of been doing the same thing, in that I've been working through a backlog of flours over quite some time (my main baking offspring was living on the other side of the country; now they are back and baking, I don't think we will have a surplus for long).
