Roasted Tomato and Lamb Pizza with Mint Pesto: My Diary of Us

It's national pizza week. Did you know that? Because that is kind of important if you ask me. It's basically an excuse to eat pizza and forget about your new year's resolutions, or not in this case. My roasted tomato and lamb pizza with mint pesto is not only to die for, but it is really pretty good for you too! How's that for having your cake and eating it too?

I love pizza, like loooove it. I could eat it everyday if my hips would allow me to. It is just so good in every way. It's comforting, it's usually what we eat for dinner on a rainy and cold night, and let's be honest here, is anything with bread and cheese bad? For me, it's all about the crust. Canean will sometimes leave his crust on his plate, only to find it disappear by yours truly. Sometimes I give it to the dogs, but that all depends on the level of greatness that the crust is.

Fig, Honey, and Prosciutto Pizza: My Diary of Us

At this point, I have officially declared my love for figs. Those little plump fruits that I basically went my whole life only eating if they came in the form of a Fig Newton, because for some reason until I moved to Louisiana, I had never eaten a fresh fig. I know...right? I was missing out big time. I'm glad we were formally introduced and now have a relationship with one another. A relationship where I devour those little beauties and make delicious recipes out of them. My fig, honey, and prosciutto pizza has been my go to summer pizza because the salty and sweet flavor combinations are so good that I'm going to apologize for not getting you this recipe sooner.

Seriously, it's easy, delicious, and you will want to make it at least once a week while you can still get your hands on fresh figs. If you have some fig skeptics in your family, make this pizza and I guarantee you that they will love it!

And really what is there not to love? Crispy, honey coated crust, spicy balsamic onions, sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and fresh peppery arugula. My mouth is watering just talking to you about it.

If you have never taken me seriously about a recipe before, now is the time. Make this pizza, and I won't judge you if you want to eat the whole thing. Because you just might be tempted to and that's ok.

After all, we can't be held responsible when pizza and figs are involved.
