Place the stick of unsalted butter into one of the microwavable bowls until it is melted. You can do this by selecting the “melt” button on your microwave or by adding your own time.

If it is not soft already, place it in the microwave for 20 seconds. After the cream cheese is softened, add green chilies, half a cup of cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper to
The cornmeal could be used to set wound bandages, ease stomach pain, and help relief the symptoms of diarrhea. Many cultures also used cornmeal in religious ceremonies and as a form of currency (The American Indian Heritage Foundation, 2016). As cornmeal was passed from one culture to another it began to change from a thick mush to fluffy warm bread. When cornmeal was introduced to the Spaniards they mixed the cornmeal with water and salt and molded it into a stiff dough ball. Then they patted it with flour and cooked it over an open flame using a skillet. The bread the created was called hoecake, it resembled French bread (Native Net, 2016). As the early settlers came to America they were introduced to many different recipes for cornmeal meals. The new settlers used these recipes and overtime developed the cornbread we have today. The new settlers were dependent on the natural resources and adapted to using cornmeal for daily nutrition. Cornmeal is a cheap substance and has a long shelf life, which made it easy for people to store during the winter months (The American Indian Heritage Foundation, 2016). As cornmeal became more popular the recipes began to change some regions grew blue corn, others grow yellow, this lead to the cornmeal tasting different. In some regions, people added honey or molasses to the cornmeal to give it a sweeter taste. In other regions, people added lard or bacon fat to give the cornmeal flavor (Native Net,
Start grating the product, and add extra water if necessary. There needs to be enough water in the blender to grate the rice and cinnamon finely. When the product is liquidly, start filtering it using the double mesh strainer. At this point the water pitcher with ice water needs to be ready. Fill the water pitcher half way only, this will allow some room for the filtered rice water. Next, lay the double mesh strainer on the opening of the water pitcher and hook it to the edges of the water pitcher for a better grip. Start adding the rice water through the double mesh strainer, and stir the rice with a spoon. This will allow the rice water to filter through the double mesh strainer and pour into the water pitcher. The double mesh strainer will retain all the excess rice and cinnamon. So, once done filtering enough rice water into the water pitcher, eliminate the excess rice and cinnamon. Finally, add 1 can of Nestle evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and lastly add 2/3 cups white sugar. Add more sugar to reach the desired sweetness.

Hardtack is a hard biscuit that can last for up to fifty years or more (Krause). The source of its name is disputed. Many historians agree that the name came from its texture, hard, and the British slang term for food, tack (Sheehan). Despite its hard and bland texture, it is filling and useful for feeding large amounts of people, such as soldiers. It is so effective at feeding soldiers that it was used from the time of the Romans up until the beginning of World War I (Colleary). It is also relatively easy to make, because it usually requires only three simple ingredients: flour, water, and salt. To make it, one must mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl and mix it until it turns into dough. Then, he or she rolls it out and cuts it into individual pieces. Finally, he or she bakes the pieces of hardtack for thirty minutes, flips them over, and bakes them for another thirty minutes. This simple recipe allowed the Union and Confederate armies to make trays upon trays of these biscuits, enough to supply each soldier with nine to ten of them per day (Colleary). It was used because it is easy to mass-produce, and it is filling for soldiers. However, hardtack does have a few flaws, especially regarding insects. During the Civil War, soldiers sometimes referred to them as “worm castles,”
Add paprika, chili powder, salt and garlic powder to this. Mix the dry ingredients with your hands together until you end up with clumps of spices. After you have thoroughly mixed the masa flour and the dry ingredients, add the corn oil all at once. Mix the corn oil into the dry ingredients with your hands and once you have mixed it thoroughly start adding 1 cup of pork or chicken broth until your masa looks like and feels like peanut butter. You can add more masa or water if it doesn’t look like peanut butter. Do a little test on the masa by putting some of the dough into a bowl of water and sees if it floats or sink. I it floats you know it’s done and if it sinks it needs some more liquid and some more fat. You will need to cover your masa dough with plastic wrap and put it in a plastic bag until you are ready to use

The first thing that comes to many people's minds when they think of America is the national ethos of the U.S.: the American Dream. This dream is closely related Lomnitz point that one of the many features of an Anglo-Protestant is “the belief that humans have the ability and the duty to try and create a heaven on earth, a ‘city on a hill’” (Lomnitz, 2005, p.1). Whether you’re a descendant of an original settler of the New World or an immigrant fresh-off-the-boat, you’re closely related to the American Dream, and a true Anglo-Protestant.
