2007 Letters

Dear Amy,
Hello, I am writing to tell you how much my family enjoys your products. Especially the Pizzas! They're so delicious! I buy them all the time and have absolutely no problems whatsoever! It seems in this day and age it is hard to find quality products that live up to their standards, but yours have faired just fine.

Once again, a big thank you from our family to yours. Please keep up the good work!

Thank You,
Nicole Saadeh

Dear Amy,
I have been a vegetarian for about 2 years and it used to be hard to
find easy-to-make meals that followed my diet. I found Amy's Kitchen
meals and I love them, as does my family

From Taylor

Dear Amy,
I was so excited to see Amy's Kid's Meals at my grocery store yesterday!! As I write, my 3 1/2 year old and my 15 month old are chowing down on baked ziti and they love the foccacia bread! What a perfect answer to those days when I just don't feel like cooking something, but still want them to have a healthy meal. I hope you continue this line, and introduce even more varieties-maybe a cheese and bean Mexican meal? I would like to see more whole-grain pastas, brown rice, and different protein sources like beans and soy. Keep up the good work and thank you!

Sincerely,
Emily, Bobby, Trey and Charlotte Stecher

Dear Amy,
I just saw your story on The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch. I wanted to tell you that I love your No Chicken Noodle Soup and your Organic Vegetable Barley Soup. I do not have any special dietary needs, I just have a challenging time eating processed foods. Your foods are delicious, filling, affordable, and they settle well. I get your
products at the Martin's Supermarkets in Granger, Indiana. Keep them coming! Thank you so much!

From Heather Dossey

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

Dear Amy,
I love Amy's! I have gotten everyone at work hooked on your meals as well as my roommate!  Every time you come out with something new I think "This is wonderful! I have to write!" Well, I just tried your Kids Meals Baked Ziti and I loved EVERYTHING!  I am a huge dessert person and the apples helped curb my desire for candy. I guess at 27 I'm just a big kid. :) Thanks for making such great food - you keep me skinny!

 Best
 Amy Stenberg

Dear Amy,
I'm not a vegetarian, but am trying to reduce my carbon profile by eating meat much less often. I've had a hard time finding quick meals that I can take to work, so finding that your meals are delicious, organic and vegetarian has been amazing! I am IN LOVE with the roasted vegetable pizza! Thank you for making it easier for me to eat to keep myself, and our environment, healthy!

From Lauren

Dear Amy,
Thank you for making a frozen pizza that has a wonderful flavor and a crust that does not taste like cardboard. I recently purchased your pizza at my local Publix supermarket after reading about your pizza in a recent magazine article. I am hooked! Now I plan one of your pizzas in my weekly menu. Thank you for making it so easy to have tasty pizza from the freezer.

Gail Goldberg

Dear Amy,
Once again, your products came through for me.  We had a friend of my daughter's, who is vegetarian stay for a week. I had no idea how to feed her, but then I thought about your products. We enjoy them often. Our guest loved the mac and cheese and the spinach/feta pockets. Thank you for helping me feed her good, great tasting food while she was here.
Oh, and the pizza is great, too.

Kathy Furneaux

Dear Amy,
I just upgraded from vegetarian to vegan. So, I am researching what I can eat now. I must say your website should be a model for all other websites to study! The search function is especially great. Being able to select what dietary limitations to search within is ingenious. This makes it so easy to find products to eat. No other website is this easy to navigate and find compatible products. Your company never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work!

Josh

Dear Amy,
I have been looking for a vegetarian potpie forever, and was quite ecstatic when I saw your product @ Amazing Savings, Asheville, NC.  In fact, I have one in the toaster oven right now. Only five minutes left until yum yum time. Thanks for making my day or should I say dinner. :o)
Samantha Bowers in Asheville, NC

Dear Amy,
Hello, I want to thank all of you for carrying a selection of gluten-free
dairy-free foods. I have a 4-year-old daughter who has food allergies and also happens to be a very picky eater, but she loves the baked ziti kids meal!

Thanks again! 
Deja from Beaverton, Or.

Dear Amy,
Hey you all. Amazing family and company story. So hard to find any widely distributed product of any kind these days that isn't from a subsidiary of a giant mega conglomerate. I just had two of your "bowls" and they were absolutely great. Thanks for the great quality. I'm here in the Bay Area -- in Piedmont. Thanks again.

John Wheeler

Dear Amy,
I have been a loyal Amy's consumer for about, oh, a million years (give or take). All of your vegan products are amazing and I always have at least 10 different items in my freezer at all times. I had to drop you a note and thank you for my newest discovery. I saw your new Baked Ziti Kids Meal in a store the other day and, even though I don't have any children, it looked too good to pass up. I'm so glad I chose to give it a try! It was absolutely amazing. The broccoli was tender-crisp, the focaccia was warm and soft, the pasta was full of flavor (may the Gods bless you for that vegan cheese you came up with) and the apple crisp was tart, sweet and cinnamon-y. It was a perfect dinner - even if I'm
too old to be seen eating it. I wanted to congratulate you on a superb meal and suggest perhaps you could make a grown-up version of at least the pasta part. Regardless if you make a bigger version, I plan on putting a couple of Baked Ziti Kids Meals in my cart every week! Thanks again!

From S Swarts

Dear Amy,
A few months ago, tests revealed that my gall bladder doesn't work.
Quickly, I cut out all meat and dairy. I had no idea how difficult it
would be to discover foods that would support this besides veggies
and/or fruits. Once I started eating your frozen meals, my fast-paced
life has been moving along much smoother. These meals help me
accommodate my diet and keep me from getting sick. The meals are
fabulous and they help you get the foods that you crave and miss. Great idea! Good luck in school!

Macie Murphy from Keller, Texas

Dear Amy,
I never write emails of this sort, but I was so 'blown away' by your Black Bean Vegetable, that I wanted to say, don't change a thing. I always buy Healthy Choice, but I bought a can of Amy's because the Sodium was relatively low.
Every spoon was a pleasure.
Many thanks,
Samuel Cochran

Dear Amy,
I just want to commend Amy on her macaroni & cheese! I tried another
brand the other day just to compare...and it could NOT hold a candle to
Amy's. Also, I tried the bean & cheese nacho snacks. They are awesome!

From April Gibson

Dear Amy,
Your Thai Stir-Fry is AMAZING. Thank you for making delicious, organic, healthy frozen food options! And thank you also for the variety of ethnic foods you offer. I had no idea that frozen Thai food could be so incredible. You make so many people happy. Thank you.

From Alicia

Dear Amy,
Hello and thank you! I have been looking for a frozen lunch that tastes
good that is not high in calories that doesn't overload on sodium for YEARS. I started eating Amy's frozen lunches after a friend told me
about the lasagna. I have tried several of your lunches, plan to try far
more of your meals (including soups and breakfasts and sals, oh my!),
and have told many other co-workers about your meals. Despite the fact I
am not a vegetarian, I love your meals and the quality with which they
are made. I have never had a bad meal, and they all smell scrum-dilly-icious. A good thing for my co-workers because I usually eat
lunch at my desk. :-)

My husband just joined the Amy's fan-base, and we will be stocking our
freezer with loads of your yummy foods.

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Danelle Hall

Amy,
we are in the process of remodeling our kitchen and have set up a
make-shift kitchen up in our guest bathroom. We have gutted our entire
kitchen and have moved our refrigerator and microwave. Your wonderful
Organic Frozen Dinners are a perfect. We always try to buy organic and
now we can still have wonderful organic entrees while we continue to
work on our remodel. Thanks so much for your contribution to good
eating.
M A Rohrer

Dear Amy,
I was so thrilled today when I went into my local Whole Foods and went to grab an Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza when I noticed the single serving size!  I just wanted to thank you very much for making my favorite pizza a smaller size! I have one in the oven right now! Thank you thank you!
Jennifer
Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza enthusiast

Dear Amy,
Just so you know, I started my teenage daughter on your dinners when I
was too worn out to cook after working all day, - and now that she's gone to College I'm still buying them for myself and she's buying them for herself too! How about that for dedicated customers? - and very grateful to Amy's mom for starting this.
One happy, relieved single mom.
Rori

Dear Amy,
I have been eating your products for years and years... and I just wanted to thank you. They are delicious, I love it when you introduce new foods, and I will continue to be a fan forever. I just re-discovered your soups. Yum.

THANKS, you seem like a wonderful family and company that truly cares
and is making a difference. Keep it up!

Dear Amy,
I have been enjoying your products for years, and don't know what I would have done without them, especially in a pinch.

I am actually going through a crisis in my life right now, the hardest thing I have ever been through, and have lost weight because I have no appetite and nothing sounds good to me.

I just want to let you know that your texas style veggie burger is the first thing that I have been able to eat and enjoy, and it may seem like a simple thing, but it is sustaining me and I am looking for blessings in the small things right now.

It just goes to show that you never know how your life will affect others. I am so glad you have worked so hard to give vegetarians some easy, great choices.

Thank you,
Amanda



Dear Amy's,

I recently succeeded in losing an irksome 10 lbs or so, substituting at
least one frozen diet meal, sometimes two, usually a Lean Cuisine,
sometimes a Healthy Choice, for a regular meal, I now have discovered, to my great delight, your outstanding line of such low-calorie meals(not billed as diet meals, I realize). I have only tried your Organic Brown Rice, veggies and Tofu, which was quite good, and your Mattar Tofu, which I felt was extraordinarily tasty and satisfying for a frozen entree. Having decided to purchase ONLY your dinners in the future, I am eagerly anticipating trying many others, particularly other Indian, Asian and Mexican options. My wife and I also recently made an overhaul of our soups, replacing Progresso with Amy's! So.... count me as one of your fans! Thank you.

Sincerely,
Larry David (not the famous one on TV!) :)

Dear Amy,
In the ideal world I'd always be cooking the tastiest food made with lots of love and lots of time. Somehow with buying our first house, getting married and starting a business, "Clean Green Homes", I'm not there yet. So, I want to thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful variety of products that you offer. You can't imagine how thrilled I am knowing that it's Teriyaki Veggie Bowl for a quick lunch, Fire-roasted SW veggie soup for an anytime filler and of course, the oldie, but goody "Veg Loaf" meal for whenever the urge hits. Thanks again for all you do, especially for keeping me out of the fast food line and the sometimes frightening frozen dinner aisle :)

From Bride Sweeney

Dear Amy,
I love your products and stumbled upon your website accidentally. I enjoyed reading about the family and Amy is beautiful!!! Keep up the good work!

From Megan

Dear Amy,
I've been teaching a class every Tuesday and Thursday night over the past six years. On those nights, I have dinner when I get home. My wife calls those nights my "soup nights" because that is what I normally have. After having tried just about every brand of canned soup available, we
have finally found the very best--Amy's Fire Roasted Vegetable. What wonderful flavor! And better yet, it's organic and meatless. Wolfgang Puck and Progresso simply cannot compete. How does Amy's make soup from a can taste so good?

John

Dear Amy,
Thanks for not using GMOs (bioengineered ingredients), thanks for offering good vegetarian food, and thanks for being organic!

From Athena



Dear Amy,
I've only very recently been entertaining the idea of becoming a vegetarian but it's difficult where I live. Last week, however, a new grocery store opened just off campus (within walking distance!) and they have a great new health food section. Only TODAY did I pick up some of your pizza and veggie bowls and I have to say, BEING ABLE TO PRONOUNCE ALL THE INGREDIANTS IS A FABULOUS FEELING!!! I feel good knowing what I'm eating and I have you to thank for providing a new tool on my path towards a healthier lifestyle. Really, thank you so much, especially for the relatively low sodium content.

Emily, 20 - Altoona, PA

Dear Amy,
Yum! While I admire people who adhere to a healthful diet 24/7, I can't say that it has been my MO. I figure that my goose is already cooked, but do try to buy organic items when available. My youngest grandson is a broccoli addict, so I was delighted to discover the very tasty broccoli pie, and look forward to trying more of your products. Amy is
a beautiful young woman. My daughter, now an engineer, mumbled and groused her way through a variety of statistics classes..it does come to an end.

From Sandy

Dear Amy,
I have seen your frozen products for years but was always skeptical to try them. last week I said what the heck and bout one of your Indian dishes that had chickpeas, Indian cheese and rice. I was completely blown away at how fresh and delicious it was. I was literally scraping the sides of the container for more. I could not tell that I was eating a frozen dish. I will tell everyone I know about it and will be a lifelong consumer. Thank you so much!!

From Tracy Wilson

Dear Amy,
My son, the vegan, convinced us to start eating healthier. Since he was buying your products, we decided to try them out. Tonight we had your all American Burgers on the grill and they were delicious! My husband and I have decided that they beat beef by a mile. We've also tried your meatloaf dinner and enjoyed it very much. Everything is so fresh tasting and wholesome! We are both in our 60's and have been meat eaters for most of our lives. Now we know we must look for healthy alternatives so we can hang around a little longer. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks????

From Anita Manley

Hello to everyone at Amy's Kitchen! This is the first time I have been to your website, and just wanted to say how great it is, the design and ease of use and information available. Just a little note to tell you how excited I am about the new paneer tikka. I was recently in Florida, where there was a startling lack of Indian restaurants, and I was
craving Indian food...I found your palak paneer in the frozen foods
section of the grocery and was so surprised at the authentic smell and
taste, the generous serving size, and the nutrition and organic veggie
goodness. Hooray for Amy's Indian! Can't thank you enough!
