Begin Your Cooking Adventure by Making American Pancakes

You love cooking but had never made an effort to cook with your mother around .You want to surprise your partner with good breakfast dish this Sunday. In this case you have to learn more about preparing American pancakes.

What is an American pancake?

An American pancake is a thin layer of cake made from a batter and cooked on low heat in a pan from where it derives its name. American flapcakes can be served with various toppings made from sweet savories like bacon to simple fresh fruits and creams and syrups made from maple sap.

What is the difference between American flapcakes and other pancakes?

Pancakes are usually made from three main ingredients which are flour, eggs and milk. The batter is usually watery and the flapcake are like French crepes. The pancakes might also have dark spots in them which are air bubbles and are very tasty to eat.

American pancakes are also made from eggs, flour and milk. But they use baking powder to make the texture of the pancakes fluffy and soft. The batter used to make the American pancakes is thicker. Americans always eat pancakes for breakfast.

What is the recipe to make delicious American pancakes?

Here is a simple method to prepare delicious American pancakes for breakfast. For the syrup you can use maple syrup that is available in the supermarkets. The basic cooking elements needed to prepare American pancakes are:

135 grams of plain flour

130 ml. milk

1 egg beaten to a fluffy mixture

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 pinch of salt

30 grams butter

Here is the actual process of preparing American pancakes.

In a large mixing bowl add the sifted flour with the sugar and salt.

In another bowl add the milk and the egg and mix them to a fluffy consistency.

Introduce the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and beat till there are no lumps in the pancake mixture. The best method is to gently fold in and then beat it up in one direction.

On a warm saucepan heat a small portion of the butter and let it warm on a low heat. The butter should not burn. Add a small quantity of the thick American pancakes batter and spread it in a round circle.

Do not make the pancakes thick. They should be around 1 cm in diameter. Slowly cook one side of the pancake till it's brown and flip the other side. You should not quicken the cooking process and the American flapcake should be lightly browned. If you do quicken it they would become dark brown and bitter.

You can repeat the process until you have used the batter. Before serving you can warm it in an oven.

Serve these warm American flapcake with warm butter coated lavishly over it and add some maple syrup.

You can also add fresh fruits like strawberries and blueberries with cream as side toppings.

Using this American flapcake recipe will surprise your partner. But remember that now that you have started your cooking adventure, cooking regularly would bring you more joy and satisfaction.

American pancakes (Amerikanske pandekager is the term in Danish) is one of the best ways to start your cooking journey.More recipes you can find on this website .

10 THINGS WOMEN FIND IRRESISTIBLE ABOUT MEN

1. WHEN YOU GET JEALOUS
Not gonna lie; this is a major turn-on for us. The face you make if another dude checks us out. now that’s hot. We like feeling like YOUR lucky lady. We love it when you put your arm around our shoulder, symbolizing that “This is MY woman.” It reminds us that you care, and that you'd do anything to keep us yours. We don’t want you breaking someone’s face or getting blood on your nice clothes, but hearing you mutter “I’m gonna beat the shit out of him if he checks you out one more time" makes us smile from the inside out.

2. WHEN YOU JUST WAKE UP
When you start to stir, and roll over and look at us in the morning. Hair all messed up, eyes still full of that sticky goo. and traces of sweat around your face... that’s a turn-on. Why? Oh. you have no idea how turned on that gets us. The fact that you look so innocent and vulnerable lying there is life’s way of telling us to take advantage of you physically. You won’t say no if we do. When we see you this way, we just WANT to have morning sex. NOW. We can brush our teeth afterwards; sex first.

3.    WHEN YOU WINK AT US
When couples get together for a fun night out, usually the guys and the girls separate into two groups. That way the “bros” can all catch up and talk about manly things while us girls can just relax and gossip with each other. As we watch you boys drink, burp, high five, and do other things you’re programmed to do, we love the fact that every now and then you’ll look over as us and give us a wink. One that says “Hey, sexy. I haven’t forgotten about you." And we just melt. You're just full of surprises. Keep it up.

4.    YOUR BODY
If you work out, you better believe we’ll notice. The sight of our man’s biceps and broad shoulders underneath their tight T-shirt is too much to handle sometimes. Don’t even get me started on those nicely-fitted jeans. Not only do to we start undressing them with our mind, but it reminds us that we are with a real man - one strong enough to protect us, lift us up and toss us around in bed for extra fun. Flex for us, men. Make us feel like Jane to your Tarzan. We love touching you. Flaunt it. We wanna see it. We wanna see ALL of it.

5. SCRUFF
Say what you want about “clean shaven" men. Us women love a little bit of facial hair on a guy’s face. Think about it: Would we really want to date a guy that looks like he’s 16? Hell, no. We want a man. We like versatility; someone who can look grizzled when he wants to lay down a tree and who can clean up presentably when he’s out showing us off. If you can get your face in check and keep your scruff under control, we’ll love you for it, and you shall be rewarded.

6. YOUR PACKAGE
And no, we’re not talking about UPS here. We have the power to tell when you’re turned on, and when you’re hard. Call it our “Sex-th Sense." It's extremely sexy when we can see it bulging out of your jeans. We love it when your other head gets a mind of its own and starts to wander. So dirty.

7. YOUR SWAGGER
Confidence is critical when you wanna turn us on. The way you present yourself. The way you walk. We watch everything you do. Wear pants that show off your firm ass. We want to be able to easily imagine

8. WHEN YOU IGNORE A HOT CHICK
Sometimes we like to see just how much you like us, so we play mind games with you. Yes, it’s true. But we usually just do this for fun! When we’re walking down the sidewalk and there are hot women everywhere, sometimes we’ll point them out, and see how you react.
If you stare too long or don’t answer with what we wanna hear, you’ll lose points. If you quickly glance or tell us we’re hotter, then you’ll gain points. I know. The game isn’t fair, but that shouldn’t matter because the prizes for the winner are totally worth it. Your bed would agree.

9. WHEN WE CATCH YOU CHECKING US OUT IN YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR
Sitting in the seat right behind you while you’re driving is actually a huge turn-on for us. Why. you ask? Because we can stare into your beautiful eyes in the rearview mirror and you can stare right back. You can check us out and we can show off. So subtle. Nobody notices. A rush of excitement runs through our body when we catch you staring at us while you’re driving down the highway. Master of the road? Maybe. Master of the mirror is more like it.

10. THE “NOISE” & THE “OH”FACE
We saved the best for last. Two things that make us sweat. That noise and face you make right before you explode? Yep. That one. We love the workout you give us that no gym can offer. Every guy is different and has his own signature “I’m done” - grunt and face. We take that as life letting us know that we’ve succeeded. Job well done! No thanks necessary. Now it’s our turn, right?

Full-Throttle Workouts

Full-Throttle Workouts
Nitrix 2.0 promotes muscle pumps, vascularity and performance

Nitric oxide (NO) is an extremely small and simple molecule, but its effects and benefits are profound. It’s composed of just one atom each of nitrogen and oxygen bound together. But this gas is one of the keys to successful workouts and great results. BSN has reformulated Nitrix 2.0 to take advantage of the latest science to promote better gains for bodybuilders.

Nitrix 2.0 contains the amino acid citrulline. which promotes NO production. It does so by converting to arginine, another amino acid, which then converts to NO. While you can also supplement arginine, research has shown that citrulline helps you maintain arginine levels better than arginine supplementation itself.

Having increased NO causes blood vessels to relax, allowing more blood, oxygen and nutrients
(such as anabolic hormones) to flow to your target muscles. This leads to greater vascularity and larger muscle pumps. And this also supports better performance, increasing your aerobic potential and allowing you to lift more weight for more reps, stimulating better growth.

The product also contains creatine in an efficacious dose. Creatine also fuels workouts and muscle pumps, driving fluids to working muscles and promoting the ATP energy cycle.

In addition. BSN’s proprietary blend contains other nutrients, including hawthorn extract, pomegranate fruit, grape seed extract, red pepper extract and resveratrol. This potent combo fuels workouts, encouraging your body to burn stored fat for energy, allowing you to gain muscle mass as you get leaner.

For best results, take 3 tablets about 60 minutes before workouts, and 3 tablets right after workouts with your post-workout shake.

Get Sustained Protein Delivery

Get Sustained Protein Delivery
Phase8’s fast-acting, time-released proteins provide 8 hours of aminos

Bodybuilders are often puzzled over whether it’s better to consume slow-or fast-digesting proteins. Two of the most basic forms of supplemental protein. whey and casein, come from milk. Whey protein is the fast-digesting liquid form of protein; casein is the solid-clumping/curdling form of protein. Whey digests much more quickly, while casein stays in your digestive tract longer, providing a slower, steadier delivery of nutrients. MuscleTech has formulated the best of both, combining whey and casein protein sources.

Phase8 contains several types of whey protein, including whey protein concentrate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate and whey protein isolate. These fast-acting forms of milk protein are quickly absorbed by your system and begin to fuel your immediate protein and amino acid needs. Whey protein is particularly beneficial after periods when you haven’t taken in protein for several hours, such as when you wakeup. and before and after workouts.

Whey gets to work quickly, providing  your body with the aminos it needs for energy, recovery and growth.

In addition. Phase8 contains casein protein, including micellar casein and calcium caseinate. These slower-digesting proteins make amino acids available in your system for longer periods, making them a great choice before going to bed when you aren't going to take in additional protein for several hours. Because casein clumps in your system, its aminos are absorbed much more slowly than those from whey.

Research, however, demonstrates that taking both whey and casein at the same time provides dual benefits, driving anabolism better than either alone. Phase8 was designed with this in mind. Each one-scoop serving provides 26 grams of protein that you can take at any time of day for superior muscle growth and recovery.

KRILL POWER (These ugly little creatures are a potent source of omega-3s)

KRILL POWER
These ugly little creatures are a potent source of omega-3s 

You has touted the benefits of krill before. Not only is krill one of the best sources of omega-3s. but it’s also at tne bottom of the food chain, which means krill oil is less tainted by contaminants found in sea food higher up the food chain. In fact, krill oil supplementation has exploded — it’s the fastest growing form of omega-3 supplementation. Despite the recent surge in krill harvesting, the small crustaceans are plentiful. That's good news for bodybuilders who can supplement to support growth and recovery. Bodybuilders should try to consume about 25% of their total dietary fat intake from omega-3s. In other words, a bodybuilder who consumes 80 grams of fat per day should get about 20 grams from omega-3s.

Beef Up Your Plant Proteins

Beef Up Your Plant Proteins

Adding leucine to wheat protein increases its muscle-building potential

Bodybuilders have long been suspicious of plant-based protein, believing them to be inferior to meat, egg and dairy proteins. That's tmo for both whole-food and supplemental forms of protein Recently, however, plant-based protein products have taken giant steps forward in terms of meeting bodybuilders' needs. Now, many plant-based products are reasonable, even good substitutes for non-vegan protein sources.

Until recently, many types of plant protein products were also high in carbohydrates. They often derived more than S0% of their calories from carbs. undermining bodybuilders' efforts to keep carbs low. In addition, the amino acid profiles of many plant-based proteins are not as conducive to muscle building as casein, whey and egg protein.

Recent research, however, demonstrates the viability of plant-based protein. For instance, a study shows that wheat protein with leuone is as anabolic as whey protein itself. While wheat protein is low in certain anabolic arruno acids, adding leucine or branched-chain ammo acids (BCAAs) helps stimulate an anabolic response equal to whey protein

In addition, many plant proteins are now much higher in protein as a percentage of total calories. Soy. pea and brown rice proteins contain as much (or more) than 80% of thoir calories from protein. Also consider adding a dose of leucine to these plant proteins to increase anabolic potential.

For best results, add 2 Yt grams of leucine to your plant protein supplement before and after workouts for a total of S grams of leucine per day. Another option is to add 3-5 grams of BCAAs to your plant protein before and after workouts for a total of up K) grams of BCAAs a day. Typically, a dose of BCAAs is about half leucine, so taking in 10 g/ams will provide 5 grams of leucine.

FIRST SET NUTRITION R&D: DIGESTIVE ENZYMES - THE D TAILS

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Improve the effectiveness of your nutrition program
Many bodybuilders are unaware of one of the biggest impediments to maximizing muscle gains: ineffective digestion and absorption of the nutrients they consume. Your muscles don’t grow from the food you eat; they grow from the nutrients your body absorbs. Many of the calories and nutrients we take in pass through our bodies undigested. While that may sometimes be a boon to inactive people who take in too many calories a day, it’s often a net negative for bodybuilders who want to get the most from the foods they consume. The answer for bodybuilders may be to supplement with digestive enzymes.

A recent study revealed that digestive enzymes help improve the bioavailability of protein and carbs for those with impaired digestion as well as for healthy people. Although bodybuilders are almost always in the latter category, the volume of food they consume challenges a healthy Gl system. High-protein diets and large quantities of food often lead to gastric dumping. Including digestive enzymes is one of the best ways to combat this problem, allowing you to get the most from the foods you eat.

For best results, look for a broad-spectrum product that contains enzymes for fats, carbs and proteins. Here are a few examples:

PROTEIN: Protease, pepsin, trypsin, bromelain
CARBS: Lactase, amylase, glucoamylase
FATS: Pancreatin, lipase

Taking digesti ve enzymes helps your body absorb muscle-building nutrients from the foods you eat so you get the most from your bodybuilding diet.

THE D TAILS
Research continues to reveal a wide range of bodybuilding benefits for this vitamin
Eating a diet rich in vitamin D, getting plenty of sunshine and supplementing this vitamin help ensure that you get plenty of this fat-soluble vitamin, which is known for supporting many health and bodybuilding benefits. These include increasing strength for more effective weight-training results, boosting immunity for better recovery and helping to raise your testoster one level to increase muscle mass.

Recent research also shows that vitamin D has a valuable impact on reducing the risk of diabetes. Typically, this ensures a more effective functioning of insulin, helping drive the muscle-building process. Another study reveals that vitamin D helps slow the rate of growth of pre-cancers. This means that vitamin D supplementation may help support the type of growth bodybuilders seek while helping keep unwanted growth in check.

MOVEMENTS TO AVOID WITH SPECIFIC KNEE CONDITIONS

MOVEMENTS TO AVOID WITH  SPECIFIC KNEE CONDITIONS 

TENDONITIS 

Tondonltis it the chronic inflammation of a tendon.        

1. Perform a thorough warm-up with a few extra warmup sets before your working sets. 
2. Decrease your loads so the movement Is pain-free. Keep your reps in the 15-20-rep range. 
3. Shorten your range of motion if necessary so that you're training in a pain-free ROM. 
4. Avoid going to failure and allow at least one full week of rest before working the muscle group again.

SPRAINS 

Knee  sprain are an acute partial or full tear to a ligament or cartilage.    

1. Maintain proper knee alignment while performing your exercises. 
2. Decrease your range of motion to remain in a pain-free zone.
3. If you're suffering from cartilage damage, avoid going below 90 degrees of knee flexion during squats, leg presses and lunges.
4. void bouncing out of the bottom or the top of an exercise.

STRAINS 

Strains are an acute partial or full tear to a muscle or tendon.     

1. Avoid the exercise that brought on the strain for 14-26 days. 
2. Decrease your weights so that you remain pain-free during the exercise. 
3. Avoid going to failure on any exercise.

How Training Around Knee Pain

How Training Around Knee Pain

Got Knee pain?
Here's what you need to know about common knee injuries and exercise modification so you can still train safely

With long-term bodybuilding (raining, occasionally injuries happen. Some are mild enough that you can easily work your way around them: others leave you sidelined for weeks at a time until they heal. And then there are those you're iust not sure about. In our last issue, we discussed minor spinal injuries and [raining modifications you can make so you can still lift safely. This month the focus is on training around injuries and pain related to the knee.

According to researchers from the University of Memphis', knee injuries accounted for 19.1% of all injuries that occurred among elite weightlifters. Hence, ktdybuilders arc fairly likely to sustain some sort of knee pain somewhere along their lifting career.

The knee is a hinge joint that’s highly stabilized by various ligaments includ-i ng the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), PCI. (posterior cruciate ligament), MCL [medial collateral ligament) and LCL (lateral collateral ligament). Furthermore. there are two padlike structures, known as the medial and lateral meniscus, made up of tough cartilage that sit between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia), which help to distribute your bodyweight across the knee ioint. The knee joint also has many tendons crossing over the joint from the muscles of the quadriceps, hamstrings :ind gastrocnemius. There are also several bursas (fluid-filled saclike structures) that surround the knee to allow for smoother movement of the tendons that cross over the joint.

With all these structures within the knee joint, it's easy to see why this ioint is often compromised. The researchers at the University of Memphis determined that of all injuries that affected the knee, 85.1% of them were diagnosed as a form of tendonitis, 6.5% were strains and 8.4% were other injuries such as knee sprains. Tendonitis can be defined as a chronic inflammation of a tendon (usually the patellar tendon in the knee), strains can be defined as an acute partial or full tear to a muscle or tendon and knee sprains can be defined as an acute partial or full tear to a ligament or the cartilage. “Movements to Avoid With Specific Knee Conditions” outlines what you should do and what you should avoid with each specific condition.

Like any other injury, it’s recommended to take a few days off from lifting and cardio activity that involves the lower extremities if you suffer a knee injury. During your rest from weight training however, upper-body training can Ik- continued as long as you select exercises that allow your knee some down time (i.e.. avoid bent-over barbell rows or standing overhead presses). After a few days of resting your lower extremities, weight training and cardio for the lower body can be resumed. However, be sure to follow the basic recommendations from the table if you've suffered an injury, and seek further medical care from a qualified sports medicine professional if your injury lingers.
