Get the Three Cheeses to the Rescue Pizza Recipe<\/h2>\n

As I type this recipe, fires are burning in Los Angeles. I see so many people on the news and on social media helping to feed our first responders and people impacted by this disaster with pizza. It warms my heart and hopefully gives some peace to people who, for the time being, surely feel like they have nowhere to turn.<\/p>\n

The most giving person I know is my partner, Donna Baldwin, who is always there to lend a helping hand. This time it\u2019s no different: Donna rescued some farm animals and relocated them to her land in Northern California. There, they will roam free and hopefully love their new home.<\/p>\n

So, in honor of these animals \u2014 and, of course, Donna \u2014 I combined a pizza with sheep milk, goat milk and cow milk cheese. Unity, togetherness and love in the fields \u2014 and in a pizza.<\/p>\n

I added a little pop of sweet acidity with oven-roasted tomatoes, a little earthy freshness with baby arugula and rounded it all out with some roasted garlic oil.<\/p>\n
