*Allie looks exactly like her dad’s baby pictures in this shot. Spitting image! Maybe someday I’ll know what it’s like to have a child that looks like me

*I have done pretty good about sticking to “the plan” this week, but last night, as I was wandering through the aisles of the grocery store, talking to Allie, a recipe idea popped into my head. I’d seen variations of it before, so I decided to grab some pizza crust, some shallots and prosciutto, and a bag of salad. Even though I had perfectly delicious recipes planned for this week, I made a game-time decision and didn’t regret it one bit. I rolled out the pizza dough and baked it while I caramelized a few shallots in a pan.

When the crust came out, I spread some local honey almond goat cheese from the farmer’s market right onto the crust, spooned on my caramelized shallots, and then sprinkled chopped prosciutto and some spinach from the bag of salad. I dripped some of the flavorful oil from the shallot pan on top of the spinach and then put it back in the oven for maybe 2 minutes. SO delicious! Then I served it with the salad, which had dried blueberries, quinoa, and balsamic vinegar. I guess sometimes it’s good to deviate from schedule and fly by the seat of your pants!

*I’m really excited about my new toy that’s currently on its way to me right now! I’ll give you a hint: it starts with N and rhymes with Book. My husband is the best!

*Also, I’m guest posting about what’s in my diaper bag over at Real Life Travels today. Feel free to stop by and say hello
