Quick and easy breakfast pancake.

Let me tell you, it's a wonderful thing when you can find a recipe that has everyone oohing and aahing and all it took was a few basic ingredients and very little time. This recipe is great for a Sunday morning breakfast for that "special" person or for your whole family. (For more than four, I would suggest making two or more). I've even made this as a quick dessert for those unexpected guests. If all this wasn't enough, it's also a low fat and low cal receipe. If you like some syrup on this pancake , you can buy a low cal maple syrup that has no sugar. Tastes great.
Following this recipe is an easy exercise you can do while waiting for the pancake to cook. Don't forget to check it out!!

Big Apple Pancakes

Ingredients :

3 tablespoons butter (either salted or unsalted)
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/8 or 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (your choice)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 lemon wedges
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably with curved sides), melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and stir to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and flour. Pour this batter over the apples in the skillet, transfer to the oven, and bake until puffy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into pieces. When the pancake puffs, remove from the oven, dot with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and return to the oven to bake until browned, about 10 minutes more. As the pancake comes out of the oven, squeeze the lemon wedges over the top.

This exercise is for that troublesome triceps area

Grab those 5 lb weights ( if you are already an exercise nut and can handle heavier weights- go for it)!

Hold a 5lb weight (or both of them in one hand if you can handle) and stand straight. Place the arm holding the weight slightly behind your ear. arm pointing straight up. Slowly bend elbow down towards your shoulder blade until bent all the way, keeping upper arm steady. (you can place the opposite arm against the triceps area and hold to feel the muscle working and this will also hold the arm in the correct position). Slowly raise arm back to starting position and repeat for 10 reps. It is important that you do this correctly. Do not use your wrist to life the weight(s) and do not move too fast. We don't want the momentum to cut down on the muscle requirement. After doing 10 reps, rest this arm and do the opposite arm. Switch back to first arm and repeat if you are able. As you get stronger, you can increase to three sets of 10 reps on each side. Do this every other day faithfully and in approximately 6 weeks or so- you should see improvement in that trouble spot in your triceps area.
