This was enjoyed by all as a July 4th treat.... My dad, who doesn't eat strawberries or blueberries, said this was a wonderful pie and went back for seconds and thirds... He even ate some of what was left over the next day.... We were all outside enjoying the 4th and this was a great red/white/blue addition.... I didn't mash my strawberries up all the way and loved the chunkiness it had....

My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
