Until fairly recently any individual who indicated concern about the destruction of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. That has totally changed now, since we all seem to have an awareness that the planet is having difficulties, and we all have a part to play in fixing it. The experts are agreed that we are not able to adjust things for the better without everyone's active involvement. This should happen soon and living in methods more friendly to the environment should become an objective for every individual family. Continue reading for some approaches to go green and save energy, largely in the kitchen.

While it may not taste as good, baking food in the microwave instead of in the oven will save you a packet of money. Maybe the realization that an oven uses 75% more energy will stimulate you to use the microwave more. Countertop appliances can boil water or steam vegetables faster than your stove, and use a lot less electricity. Many individuals mistakenly believe that doing the dishes by hand uses a lesser amount of energy than a dishwasher. A dishwasher is particularly effective when it's full before a cycle is going. By cool drying or even air drying the dishes instead of heat drying them, you can increase the amount of money you save.

The kitchen on its own offers you many small methods by which energy and money can be saved. Eco-friendly living just isn't that difficult. It's related to being functional, more often than not.

The ingredients needed to prepare Date Night Lamb Shanks:

1. Use 2-4 of lamb shanks (Make sure your Dutch oven or heavy pot will hold that many).
2. You need 1 of salt and pepper.
3. Prepare 1 of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
4. Use 1 of large onion (red, yellow, white... whichever you prefer).
5. Take 10-12 of garlic cloves whole (don't chop smaller than 1/2 if prefered. They cook up sweet).
6. Take 1 of Fresh rosemary chopped (about a palm full or two tbls).
7. Provide 1 can of articokes (12 in a can)... I'll slice in half as well.
8. Use 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata Olives halved.
9. Provide 1 cup of basic tomato sauce **see my other recipe**.
10. Prepare 1 cup of Favored dry white wine (I like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc).
11. Take 1 cup of chicken stock.

Steps to make Date Night Lamb Shanks:

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Rinse/Pat dry lamb shanks and season liberally with salt and pepper. Using your large heavy bottom pan (Dutch oven/Cast iron pot) drizzle olive oil to coat bottom well (5-6 tbsp) over stove top at med heat. Sear shanks on all sides then remove from pot (set aside)..
3. To same pot add onion, garlic, artichokes, and rosemary and cook until onions become translucent/soft. Then add olives, wine, sauce, stock and bring to a boil..
4. Add the lamb back to the pot and submerge into the liquid atleast 3/4 in thickest part of shank submerged (add more stock/wine/sauce in equal parts if necessary). Cover tightly with lid and place into oven..
5. Cook for 1 hr 45 min to 2 hrs turning shanks once half way through cooking time. I find 2 hrs is best. The meat falls off the bone. :).
6. Remove from oven and serve! I plate some mashed potatoes or rice and sit the shank right on top and spoon all the goodness it cooked in on top!.
