2007 Letters

Dear Amy,
I probably can not say anything that hasn't been said by others but here goes. I tried your chili years ago and loved it but the store went out of business and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I recently found your soups and tried them and they are great. I can't stand Progresso and Campbell’s are too salty. I just found out that you have an Internet store and shall order some chili. Please don't go out of business.

Thank you, Russ

Dear Amy,
There's only one Indian restaurant here in Evansville, Indiana and my husband doesn't care for Indian food so we seldom went. But I love Indian!

When I found your dinners in our local market I was hopeful but skeptical. I brought home the Mattar Paneer.

When I pulled it from the microwave at home and those Indian spices filled my kitchen... that alone was wonderful! But then I sat down to eat and found that the textures were perfect - I think the food in your dinner is fresher than the food I would get at the restaurant!

The only thing I missed was having bread on the side. I compromised and found that the flat breads they have at the store for making pizza work really well - heated just a bit in the oven. Toss some of the beans and peas and rice into a fold of that bread and ... Mmmmmm Life is good. :)

And they're healthy, too!

Thank you so much for adding this variety to my life and doing it right. I've told my friends & family to look for your dinners.

Dear Amy,
Your pizza is wonderful.  I try to eat healthy, and can splurge on one of your spinach pies without feeling like I've eaten junk food.  The pie tastes so wonderful, I truly enjoy every bite, and even share a little with my little chihuahua, Jasper.  She goes nuts for it.  Thank You. 

From Mary Collet

Dear Amy,
I just wanted to thank you for such awesome variety and quality!!  My 14 year old made the decision to become vegetarian last spring. The rest of the family is not vegetarian so sometimes meal planning is difficult. We have one child with serious allergies (soy, dairy, tree nuts, egg yolks), two that eat most anything, and one vegetarian! Your products make life so much easier! I always know there are options in my freezer for nutritious meals for my family!  Thanks so much!

Dear Amy,
I don't often take the time to let companies know when they excel, but I really wanted to this time!  I used to cook Indian food but now really do not find the time to do so.  I have so much enjoyed your Indian Entrees (Palak Paneer and Matar Paneer).  I love them because they are low fat, low calorie and have the most authentic, fabulous taste.  When I'm craving the spicy goodness of Indian cuisine, I look no further than my freezer for the Amy's boxes inside!  Thanks!

From Melanie St Clair

Dear Amy,
Thank you so much for all the delicious food you make! My mom has been a vegan for years and I have been a vegetarian all my life, and you make it so much fun! People ask me again and again, "How have you never even tried meat??" Because there're so many better things out there, in particular, the food you make! Without all the variety my tongue would've lived a bland and unexciting life. Thank you for giving me an option that I look forward to!

From Nikki

Dear Amy,
I just wanted to reach out and state how much I enjoy your products. I have recently stopped eating meat since September and practically live off of your foods. They are wonderful and I thought that you would like to know.

Thanks
Stacey B.

Dear Amy,
I am just writing to tell you how very pleased I've been with everything I have tried that is produced by your company. I love this website too! Getting to see how tofu is made is really interesting!

I became a vegetarian a little over a year ago. At first, I thought my choices were going to be very limited. I have since discovered a whole new world. And I am pleased to say that Amy's is in that "whole new world". Your products are good, filling, and I don't feel bad physically or mentally from eating them. Thank you for all your hard work developing these products. They are wonderful!

From Becky Smith

Dear Amy,
Thanks for a great, nutritious line of foods. I'm a working mom w/ two small children living in the mayhem of NYC. I discovered your products about 6 months ago and am now hooked! You make my life easy - I can avoid ordering as a quick meal option and avoid the cost, sodium and added calories. Plus I know I'm not getting preservatives and nitrate laden foods that just drive little kids brains crazy. Well done and keep coming up with new ideas!

Christine

Dear Amy,
I just have to compliment you on the new Southern Meal with Cornbread & Beans. I cannot believe how GOOD this dish is. What comfort food! It's beautiful bright contrasting colors of the bright greens and the orange sweet potatoes coupled with the warm soothing tastes and aromas are to die for. Keep up the good work! Your Indian meals are also beyond fantastic! I don't know what I'd eat for lunch at work everyday if it wasn't for Amy's.

From Diane Eardley

Dear Amy,
LOVE the Lentil Vegetable soup! Just tried it for the first time today. My mother used to make lentil soup, and it is nice to be able to buy a ready-made version that is SO GOOD! It is so easy to heat up, and the flavor is just right. I ate the whole can by myself. Keep up the good work - I enjoy many of your other food products. We just went organic about 10 months ago, and I cannot believe how much more flavorful organic foods are. So glad I found your products. THANKS!

From Dianne O'Donnell

Dear Amy,
I just tried Amy's for the first time today. I had the Palak Paneer and it was super! I can't wait to try the others that I bought. Thanks so much for taking care of the vegetarians and those of us who care about what we put in our tummies!

From MJ wade

Dear Amy,
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I love your products. Not only is your food easy (frozen, microwaveable, etc.) it actually tastes good! My life is hectic and nothing is better than throwing a burrito in the microwave and actually feeling like I ate REAL food that is good for me. Thank you for your quality. I will keep buying Amy's!

From Adrienne Kasko

Dear Amy,
I enjoyed seeing you on Donny Deutsch, you share your love and kindness with lots of us, as you prepare foods that are delicious and healthy. I have tried the veggie burgers (bought in Kroger in Mt. Orab, OH) and I'm buying more, plus some other entries. Thanks.

From Carolyn

Dear Amy,
I've been purchasing Amy's meals for about two months now. My son and I (both vegetarians) were in our local grocery story (Strack & Vantils - Schererville, IN) and were saying to each other...gosh, I wish we had more prepared options. We searched the frozen food section and saw Amy's products. I purchased about 10 meals because we were so excited. Our lives are so much easier now. The food is OUTSTANDING! I can't believe how good everything tastes. Please keep up the great work! I always tell people about your products. It's so nice to have the option of eating great food without killing animals. Thanks!

From Julie Rizzo

Dear Amy,
I have been loving your products for a couple of years now and I was
just watching "The Big Idea" and you guys were on there talking about
how you read all of your letters and emails....so I figured I would send
you a long overdue comment. I absolutely love your products and brag
about them to anyone and everyone any chance I get. I seriously think they are the best frozen item available on the market! I have loved every product I have ever tried and some of my favorites are the
California Veggie Burger, Tofu Scramble Pockets, and the Tofu Lasagna!

Love ‘em, Love ‘em, Love ‘em! So thank you and I wish you continued
success!

Jen, Seattle WA

Dear Amy,
I don't even know the last time I wrote a company with praise instead of
a complaint. I just wanted to say that since I've been introduced to
your products a few months ago, I have become a HUGE fan! I can't
believe how tasty (and healthy!) your frozen meals are. From the Brown
Rice & Tofu bowl to the Pesto Pizza - I love it all! Keep up the great
work!

From Tanya Menoni

Dear Amy,
I just wanted to let you know that I tried your Lentil soup for the first time tonight and was absolutely amazed! I felt obligated to write and let you know!

I've been trying to make it a point to eat healthier. I can guarantee I will be purchasing your product EVERY time I go to the supermarket in the future. Awesome stuff- thanks!

From Tom

Dear Amy,
I just had the Cheese Enchilada dinner and it is one of the best frozen
dinners I have ever had! Absolutely delicious! I eat a frozen meal for
lunch most days and compared to the competition, this is excellent! The
food is worth the extra cost! I love your philosophy. Looking forward
to eating more meals from you guys!

From Amit Shah

Hi Everyone at Amy's,
I just wanted to tell you how great I think you are! I am currently pregnant with my second child and you make my lunches so easy and worry-free! I just finished your pesto tortellini bowl and it's so delicious. I've had many other meals that you make and marvel at the flavors and textures in the Mexican dishes or the Indian dishes that I would not expect to come from a frozen meal! Thanks for showing the world that it is possible to live organic and free of hormones! I wish other companies would follow your lead and quit with the so-called organic that is showing up on shelves. By the way, I'm a Purdue graduate myself. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Sarah Jacobs, Fort Wayne, Indiana

Dear Amy,
I am a cook by profession and though I love to cook I don't seem to have
time to cook for myself. I discovered your foods years ago but only
recently have I really gotten into eating them on a regular basis. They
are so like homemade and the ingredients are of the standard I use
myself. Your foods make you feel good about using microwave foods and
healthy also. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to try your new
products.

Regards,
Judy Young

Dear Amy,
Greetings from Texas!

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how awesome your new mushroom and olive pizza is. Your pizza is the only pizza I don't feel guilty about eating or serving my family. It is wonderful! Smelling the
mushroom and olive pizza come out of the oven reminded me of when I worked in an Italian restaurant in NY when I was in college; sooo good!

Our daughter enjoys the pesto and spinach pizzas, but your mushroom pizza is her new favorite. She loves mushrooms and since this one is less spicy, it is perfect for her four-year-old taste buds.

Also, I wanted to let you know that the single serving size is perfect
for our toaster oven. It is nice not to have to heat up the big oven.

I just wish our local Wal-Mart still carried your full size pizzas too!

Thanks again!
The Jennings Family

Dear Amy,
So...as a recent dabbler into the vegetarian world I am in the process
of trying all new vegetarian items I can get my hands on. As I sit here
and type this, I am polishing off your Indian Mattar Paneer and it is
absolutely YUMMY! Thanks for being there to encourage my healthy
eating!

From Amy

Dear Amy,
I just wanted to send a note to your company to let you know how much I appreciate your products.

I have been vegetarian since I was 4 by my own choice. I grew up with 5 other meat eaters and even married a meat eating husband. With the help of your products my husband has been incorporating vegetables into his diet for the first time in 23+ years. One day I was eating one of your Spinach Feta pockets and I offered a bite to my husband. He quickly refused because he could see "green stuff" in the pocket!! After a few minutes I convinced him to try it and he loved it! Now when we shop for frozen food we both head right for the Amy's section in our air force
base commissary. Because of your foods he was able to see that eating
vegetarian can be yummy and he even lets me serve him homemade meals with meat substitutions now (like tacos or meat loaf with 'ground beef' substitute)!!

Thanks for making great products that show the meat eaters of the world
that we aren't "crazy"!!!!!

Regards,
Jeannine
