home.

I spent the past few weeks at home for Christmas break. While I was home, I decided to visit some new (and old) favorite spots in North Canton and Downtown Canton.

First, I made a trip to Ben Heggy's Candy Company to purchase a few pieces of their yummy chocolates. Heggy's has two locations in Canton and one in Alliance. The little diner on Tuscarawas has some of the best french fries and milkshakes. If you need further proof: the french fries are served with a little square of butter on top.....

I have heard a lot of great things about Muggswigz in Downtown Canton and as the creator of Cup of Cleveland I felt obligated to determine if the lattes lived up to the hype. My verdict? YES.

It was so much fun looking at the drink menu and all the unique combinations that were offered. I opted for a cinnamon and honey latte, Leslie chose the s'more variety and Chris had the classic cappuccino. The latte art was some of the better latte art I have seen in the US, and the taste was equally as impressive.  I understand why Muggswigz won third place in the 2013 America's Best Coffeehouse Competition.

A trip home wouldn't be complete without dinner at 91 Wood Fired Oven. After eating embarrassing amounts of the best bread with the 91 balsamic vinegar reduction, I ordered the blackened chicken with smoked Gouda risotto and a delicious raspberry balsamic drizzle. It was such a nice way to spend an evening home with my family and Chris.

Now that I am back in Cleveland, refreshed and ready to enjoy my last semester in college at John Carroll!
