German Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

German Chocolate Shortbread I don’t think there is a better dessert known to man than a homemade German Chocolate Cake. And there isn’t a person this side of glory that makes a better one than Juanita Young…my “Gaga”. I have so many childhood memories of my grandmother’s amazing meals and confections and many of them I now have made for my own family. One of my favorites is her German Chocolate Cake.

Buckaroo’s Funky Barbecue Playlist

Buckaroo-barbecue-playlist One of the best ways to enjoy summer barbecue is with family and friends. There is nothing better than “shootin’ the breeze” with the people you love, trash talkin’ around card tables, eating good food and listening to good music. Buckaroo is our live in D.J. We don’t get to pick what’s played, we just listen and enjoy. Ninety percent of the time we don’t care though because he always plays the jams.
He is old school to the heart so I will warn you now if you are younger than forty you may not be able to appreciate his vibe. He has an old soul. Tonight we were on the porch watching our dinner —->these guys, and it was just the perfect evening. The perfect company, the perfect meal, the perfect music. So we thought it would be cool to share with you some of the music we listened to today while we were grillin’ and chillin’. Now you can and get your jam on for your next backyard barbecue! There’s some Frankie Beverly on here, The Gap Band, and Kool and the Gang, and we’re Chewsy Lovers so you know we had to give you a little Isley Brothers! Buckaroo made this playlist for you, but it really speaks to our personality as a couple. We really hope you enjoy this funk!Make sure you have a account so you can access the playlist. It’s free to sign up. Just click .

M.W.A.H.,
Chewsy Lovers
