Cilla

Cilla McIntyre Payne appeared on the T.C. scene back in May of 1973 and will always think of northern Michigan as home. Back then there were a limited number of local eateries and most of my memories of great food are from Drury and McIntyre family gatherings. Gratefully, that tradition continues today! Now there are many truly fine dining establishments in northern Michigan, but the place I love to eat the best is still at family gatherings or in my own home. I am always gathering new recipes and trying my hands at culinary concoctions. For me cooking is an art form and one of my favorite things to do. The variety and pleasure of delicious food and great recipes both clans provide continues to expand, as the Drury sisters, Paula and Ann, launch the Up North Foodies website. I toast your efforts to continue the tradition of fine dining in the comfort of our own homes and yours!

Manna Food Project Needs Your Help

Manna Food Project helps feed almost 30,000 local families each year by distributing food to 37 pantries and agencies throughout Emmet, Charlevoix and Antrim counties. The nonprofit has partnered with Leadership Little Traverse on the Feeding our Future project, which will support expanding Manna's building.

The number of families seeking assistance last year increased 45% over the previous year. And with that number growing each month, Manna needs a larger warehouse area to receive, organize and store the food. A larger freezer will increase the amount of frozen food available and ease delivery of food into the warehouse, and the addition of a clean room will give Manna the space to repackage bulk food to make it easier for smaller pantries to handle.

Visit the Manna Food Project to make a financial donation and to learn other ways you can help, whether by donating food or volunteering.
