There is just something about cooking with fresh ingredients. A trip to your local farmers market can result in some the freshest and most delicious local finds. The summer growing season is filled with so many colorful fruits and vegetables. Peaches are one of my favorites and they’re now in season. Are you a peach lover too?Peaches are great for sweet desserts, but have you tried them teamed with prosciutto and balsamic vinegar? No? Oh, you have to try this Balsamic Peach and Prosciutto Pizza. It’s perfect for summer time! How can you refuse these  fresh local peaches, arugula, and prosciutto (it’s the next best thing to bacon)?Balsamic Peach and Prosciutto Pizza from Little Family Adventure -A quick and easy pizza with fresh peaches, prosciutto, and arugula. www.littlefamilyadventure.com

At this week’s Farmer’s Market, I picked up some local Stratford peaches.  They were SOOOO sweet. Oh my goodness! My kids could hardly wait before eating their first, second, or third one. Stratford, Oklahoma is the self-declared “Peach Capital of Oklahoma”. Every July, the town hosts its annual Peach Festival. It’s full of great family fun and of course, deliciously yummy peaches. I can’t wait to go this year. Do you have any food festivals that you love going to?

I picked up Plank Grilling by Dina Guillen from my local library the other day. As I was flipping thru it for new meal ideas, I came across a recipe for a Balsamic Peach and Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula. I knew that I would have to make this pizza. I love to combine fruit (usually melon) and prosciutto because I like that sweet and salty combination. This pizza has that same sweet and salty combo. The mozzarella and goat cheese give it a little something extra too. The original recipe was for plank grilling on an outdoor grill. I modified the recipe and cooked it indoors in my oven.

Homemade Pizza Crust

For homemade pizzas, I like to make this Homemade Pizza crust. It’s a no knead recipe that can be stored in the refrigerator. That way you make it once, and use it throughout the week as needed. It helps me save time in the kitchen.

This Balsamic Peach and Prosciutto Pizza is a perfect summertime dinner. It’s quick and easy to prepare, healthy, and the kids love it. This is what real food is all about; Fresh ingredients that you can feel good about feeding your family. You’ll be seeing more of this recipe on upcoming meal plans. Maybe one day, I’ll try it out on the grill.

    I adore peaches! Your pizza dough looks awesome. I used to go to a lovely wine tasting room and restaurant in Temecula that served a pizza with grapes on it. It was so yummy! Your pizza reminds me of that one. I bet yours is better!!! I can’t wait to try it!

      Thanks Debi. I love this dough recipe because there’s no kneading and can be stored in the fridge. Which winery has that pizza? I love the Wilson Creek Winery. A friend and I went years ago for our birthdays and loved the food, and of course the wine.

    There’s a HUGE avocado festival every year in Fallbrook, which is the next down south of us. You wouldn’t believe the crazy stuff people come up with. Avocado fudge is really popular 🙂

      I recently had avocado ice cream and it wasn’t bad. It’s always fun to try new things.

    Hi Nicky! I love all sort of gourmet pizza combinations and I can’t wait to try this one. I love, love, love peaches! My kids are kind of stuck in the cheese pizza rut. Maybe, they would eat it if I called it something else. Peach and prosciuotto flatbread maybe…………..LOL! We have a Maple Festival near us in the spring and the Grape Jamboree near us in the fall. The grape ice cream is a big hit with the kids. The bumble bees seem to like the grape pies.

    If my other half wouldn’t freak out I would so make fruit pizza’s. He loves pizza but can’t get past the idea of a fruit pizza. Might have to do it when the daughter is the only one around 😉

    Hi, Nicky! I’m so glad to see you at Treasure Box Tuesday…..and I am in love with this gorgeous pizza you brought. I don’t even know where to start- homemade pizza crust (YES!), then the delicious, unexpected pairing of beautiful sweet ripe peaches and salty prosciutto. Arugula is the perfect finishing touch. *Happy Sigh*

    I’m going to go get your pizza dough recipe, but FIRST, I am pinning and tweeting! 🙂
