Until fairly recently any person who indicated concern about the wreckage of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. That’s a thing of the past now, with everybody being aware of the problems besetting the planet and the shared burden we have for turning things around. Unless everyone begins to start living much more green we won’t be able to resolve the problems of the environment. Each and every family must start creating changes that are environmentally friendly and they should do this soon. Here are a few tips that can help you save energy, primarily by making your kitchen more green.
Start out with changing the bulbs. This will probably go beyond the kitchen, nonetheless that is okay. The typical light bulbs are the incandescent variety, which must be replaced with compact fluorescent lightbulbs, which save energy. These bulbs are generally energy-efficient which means electricity consumption is lower, and, even though they cost a bit more to buy, will outlast an incandescent light ten times over. One of the extras is that for every one of these lightbulbs used, it means that approximately ten normal lightbulbs less will certainly end up at a landfill site. Along with different light bulbs, you have to learn to leave the lights off if they are not needed. In the kitchen is where you’ll regularly come across members of a family, and often the lights usually are not turned off until the last person goes to bed. And it’s not confined to the kitchen, it happens in other parts of the house as well. Make a routine of having the lights on only when they are needed, and you’ll be amazed at the amount of electricity you save.
From the above it really should be apparent that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are lots of little opportunities for saving energy and money. Green living is something we can all accomplish, without difficulty. Typically, all it takes is a bit of common sense.

- Provide FOR TOPPINGS:

Steps to make Chocolate Covered Stuffed Dates Recipe:
- Preparing the pan in which to set the chocolate covered dates: - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and if using foil, lightly grease it and keep aside.
- Preparing the dates for coating: - Slit the dates vertically with a sharp knife carefully so as to not cut them totally, and deseed; keep aside.
- If you do not have roasted almonds, roast them in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees centigrade oven for about 6 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on it; they may get burnt easily. Once roasted, remove from oven and let cool. - After the almonds have cooled, stuff each in the deseeded date (about 15) with one almond each and enclose them completely; keep aside. - Similarly, spoon rest of the deseeded dates with peanut butter and press tightly to enclose the peanut butter. Keep aside.
- Melting the chocolate and coating the filled dates: - Place the chopped chocolates in a glass bowl tightly over a pan of simmering hot water. You can even melt chocolate using a microwave in 30 seconds bursts till fully melted.
- Stir continuously until all the chocolate is melted into a smooth satiny mixture.
- Remove from heat. - Dip each filled date with a spoon, turning until fully coated with chocolate. - Gently remove from the chocolate with a fork and tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. - Place the dipped chocolates into prepared pan.
- Once all the dates have been lined up on the pan, sprinkle crushed sea salt (optional; if you like the sweet with salt combination) over the almond filled dates and silver balls over the peanut butter filled dates (this avoids confusion between the almond filled and peanut butter filled dates!!).
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. - Once the chocolate has set, gently remove the chocolate-covered dates from the foil and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
- NOTES: If you or your kids do not like whole almonds, you can fill with finely chopped nuts. The sky is the limit as far as the filling is concerned!!! Let your imagination and taste buds go wild! You can use any kind of chocolate; dark, semi-sweet, milk chocolate or even white chocolate. - Make sure the dates are firm and of good quality; I have used Date Crown brand dates. - Give another dimension to these sweet healthy bites by sprinkling sea salt, chilli flakes, coconut etc. on top.
