Got milk? Use it towards a meat-free Monday meal option
"This is what I do when I have one more day of milk life..."
Living alone has many benefits, but having your milk live past its expiration date is not one of them.
When you live alone, sometimes it's best to shop for things packaged in smaller quantities so you're not sitting with large amounts of groceries that might go bad before you're able to consume them.
A woman who lives by herself shared how her favourite milk brand only comes in a big box. This means she's had to find inventive ways to use it all before it goes off.
Her recipe is also a great one to make if you're looking for a meat-free Monday meal option.

In the video, Ramya Ravuri shares how she repurposes the last bit from her milk carton before it goes off.
She uses milk to make paneer, an Indian cheese, which is an excellent source of protein for vegetarians – plus, it's an easy meal idea for the start of the week.
While there are several ways to make this delicious cheese, Ravuri adds spring onion and spices to give it extra flavour.
Watch how she makes it below on Instagram.

People were surprised that making paneer was this easy and sounded inspired by the idea.
"Paneer! Thank u. I didn’t buy milk today because I was like, it’s just gonna go bad… now this is what’s up!"
"Paneer! This looks so yummy- I will absolutely be making this!!!"
"That's how you make paneer??? Omg, that's so simple."
