2 Egg whites
1/2 cup Peanut butter
1 Cup Milk
1/3 cup Chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients expect chocolate chips together well. Cook on electric skillet at 350 degress or on the stove top. Add chocolate chips to eat pancake individually. That way you can make sure you get a chocolate chip in each bite.

Crockpot Chili Verde

1 1/2 pounds chicken or pork boneless and diced into cubes
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup green chili sauce
2 cups tomatillos, husks removed and coarsely chopped
2 roasted green chilis, seeded and diced ( Anaheim or Poblano work well)
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sugar(optional)
3 tablespoons oil
2 cups water

Brown the chicken or pork in a small amount of lard or oil, over high heat.
Place the browned chicken or pork, chili sauce and tomatillos into a crock pot and set on low, or a large, covered pot over low heat. Simmer for 2 hours. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for and additional 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes and add water as necessary. Serve hot.

** Note- Next time I make this I am going to roast the tomatillos just to see if it gives it a different flavor, but the tomatillos were good unroasted as well.
