It’s cold in Nashville. Before I move on, I don’t wanna hear anything about “it’s cold in Michigan, waaaaaah…” Bottom line is that it’s 14ºF as I type this with the high temp for the last 24 hours being 19ºF and the low 4ºF. I know that’s a little warmer than Nashville’s record –17ºF low (which I remember), but I don’t care who you are that is cold. So cold that instead of going out to have Mexican food with Dan we decided to just stay in, make sure we don’t end up with dogcicles and make this awesome pizza wonderfulness.
A week or so ago Larry posted this link to a recipe for stuffed deep dish pizza and it sounded so good that I immediately told Megan that we had to have it soon. Megan got all the ingredients that I would need to make the pizza today and when I got home from work I got to prepping. Megan left to go get her hair trimmed and when she got back I was just slipping my wonderful creation into the oven. The filling that they used in the original recipe sounded alright but I wanted AWESOME. And let me tell you, AWESOMEness was achieved!
Instead of making dough from scratch Megan found whole wheat pizza dough at Trader Joe’s which was awesome and a huge time saver. I started with that and filled it with fresh garlic, fresh broccoli, cremini mushrooms, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, fresh spinach, pesto and three layers of mozzarella, shaved Parmesan and goat cheese. The top layer was covered in tomato basil marinara, and more mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. The result? The pizza was AWESOME!!

I really love goat cheese it is really delicous. Most of the time I eat it as a dessert or use it to make a salsa.
