Western Regional Cherry Pit Spit

Celebrate Orchard Days with The Red Barn in Santaquin as we host our 7^th Annual Cherry Pit Spit event. The pit spit will be held on August 3^rd from 10-3 pm with finals beginning at 2 pm. For your chance to win 1^st place and our grand prize of $100, participants must qualify before 1:45 pm. Bring your entire family to enjoy face painting, games, pie-eating contests and a chance to win one of our other amazing prize baskets! Final rounds which begin at 2 pm, include the top 10 spitters from men and women participants and the top five spitters from the youth age group divisions which include: 15-13, 12-9, 8-6 and 5 & under.

Proceeds from our event this year will be donated to Talon Raun.  Talon is a wonderfully happy little boy despite the many challenges he has faced in his short life. He has had heart & lung complications as well as being born without bones in his right leg.  Last year his leg was amputated, and he was given a prosthetic leg to help him become more independent.  As he gets older he will be in need of new prosthetics that can match his growing body.  

The $1 entry fee and all proceeds from the ice cream sold that day will be donated to the Raun Family. Come and support Talon and our community by seeing just how far your hot air can make a pit fly!

April Sale

This month Apple Juice will be 15% off. Our family slams this stuff faster than milk, so it's a perfect time to stock up! I like freezing mine in ice cube trays and then using it as needed in smoothies (that's if my boys don't drink the whole gallon before I have a chance to have any!)

We also have two new flavors of ice cream: Toasted Coconut and Caramel Apple. Try them out and let us know what you think!

Feeling Cheesy

It's been awhile since I've shared a recipe, but this one is just that good. Growing up, the hometown grocery store had the best mac and cheese. I know what you are thinking. Mac and cheese? Can't I whip that up on my stove top in ten minutes? Well, yes, you could - but after tasting this you won't want to! Since this grocery store has recently been taken over by a bigger chain store, they've released their recipe. Give it a try sometime and let me know what you think! And while we are talking about cheese, make sure to pick up some Heber Valley Artisan Cheese next time you are at the Barn. It's life changing!

Ukrop's Macaroni and Cheese

• 5 cups cooked macaroni (2 cups, raw)
• 2 cups small curd cottage cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
• 8 ounce shredded cheddar
• 1/4 cup Parmesan
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir in cheddar cheese. Gently add cooked macaroni. Spoon into a greased 3-quart baking dish. Top with Parmesan and paprika. Bake about 40 minutes or until set. Do not over bake. Serves 8-10.
