Prosciutto Pizza with Balsamic Onions

PizzaWell today marks a very special day, yes that is right, you guessed it, It’s Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned Cookin with Moxie, an Italian food blog filled to the brim with delicious recipes. Jamie (yes another Jamie not me), brings this blog to life and I was so happy to have received it! I decided to make this pizza, yum, good choice! It is a bit different from the normal pizza we have as it did not have tomato sauce,but we didn’t miss it a bit! I loved the saltiness of the prosciutto and the tang from the balsamic. It all made for one tasty meal!
