  1. My favorite strawberry pie was a big success for Fourth of July dinner. I didn't make any changes (except I didn't have cream cheese, so I'll try that next time). It set up/sliced perfectly. I loved the extra Jello in it, but not too much to make it too "Jello-y" tasting. You should have seen my family devour it! Thanks, Chris from Kansas! Roxygirl
     
  2. This pie is very pretty when it is finished. The cooked berries give a nice glossy finish to the fillling. The cream cheese keeps the crust from getting soggy even after a day or two in the fridge. Very tasty recipe - I will be making this again. Thanks!
     
  3. I hate soggy crusts and you are right that the cream cheese prevents this. Very tasty pie. Thanks for the recipe.

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
