    I got this in my email inbox today and can't wait to try it. My only wish is that it had come out earlier in the summer when strawberries were in full season. Perhaps Chef Meg could begin making the recipe of the day something more in tune with the current seasons? I would love that! - 9/23/09

    I love strawberries and I love cream cheese so it's no wonder I loved this recipe. I forgot to grill it after making up the sandwiches, I multiplied the recipe to share with my family. It was great even cold like that! - 2/25/10
