Set timestamp using firebase's Timestamp.now() instead of Date.now()

[ascibisz]

Problem

I noticed that edited recipes collection isn't being cleared out as we would expect by our daily jobs.

After digging in, it's because the timestamps aren't being formatted in the right way on upload to the edited recipes collection.

Solution

Use firebase's Timestamp.now() instead of Date.now() to get the timestamp in the proper format on upload
