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

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>
