Celiac Disease Letters:

Sent: June 2nd, 2005 - From: Sarah Johnson

Email!Dear Amy,

My family first started purchasing your products when my Dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Eventually out of curiosity, the rest of the family began to eat Amy's products . I am now addicted to the Enchiladas-I eat it EVERY DAY! Thanks so much for good tasting gluten free products!

Email!Dear Amy,

I just wanted to thank you for making delicious, healthy, organic gluten free foods. I was just diagnosed with celiac disease. I was so upset at the thought of cooking every night and eating boring foods. My sister discovered your cheese enchiladas and I was hooked and thrilled. They taste better than my former favorite mexican resturant. Once or twice a week. I treat myself to chips with your salsa and a hot plate of enchiladas. Thank you!!!

Email!Dear Amy,

Praise God for your company and the wonderful products you make.

My husband has recently been diagnosed with Celiac Sprue, and it was such a blessing to come across Amy's products. Thank you so very much for labeling each of your products clearly! My only wish is that our local grocery stores carried more of your product.

Keep up the great work, and keep coming out with more gluten free products!!

Email!Dear Amy,

My 4-year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease last fall and we are so, very, truly, genuinely thankful to you for offering gluten free foods. We recently discovered your foods and screamed with joy in the store when we found your pizzas and macaroni and cheese and other foods!! I also cried happy tears because, as a mother, I've tried so hard to create foods that my little girl will enjoy and you have rescued me! We literally purchased everything that was available at the time and stocked our freezer. My daughter is so happy to have pizza that looks and tastes so delicious and looks like the pizza her brother and friends eat. Thank you so much for creating these delicious foods. We are eternally grateful. We feel like we have so much more understanding and support as we venture through life dealing with this disease.

THANK YOU! Bless you!!!

I want to thank you for the gluten-free products you've created. I was diagnosed Celiac last year and before that one of my favorite meals what your cheese-less pizza that my husband and I would pile things on top and cook it. Since I was diagnosed, I missed pizza the most. Yesterday I found your Rice Pizza at Whole Foods and I about danced in the aisle. I brought it home and had my first gluten-free pizza. I am so grateful that you have opened up your gluten-free line. I hope it very successful for you.

Blessings,

Email!Dear friend at Amy's,

Some college students have ice cream in their freezer. My NYU daughter stocks hers with Amy's!

We love your products. My youngest is a celiac, so your foods have been a lifesaver. They also taste great to the rest of us, who are not gluten-intolerant! Please keep up the good work.

I hope the sun comes out in Petaluma today. We used to stop at the Biobottoms store on our way to the Sea Ranch every year when the kids were little.

Best,

P.S. You did see your butternut squash soup featured in the latest issue of "Nutrition Action," the newsletter for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Congratulations!

I just had to send you a note to thank you for your wonderful Tomato Bisque Soup, which I have every day for lunch. I now have my husband hooked on it also. When I shopped at my local Tom Thumb grocery store and they had it on sale this past weekend, I bought every single can! What can I say....we love this soup!

What's even better is that on the can it says "gluten free," which is so very important to me since I have celiac disease.

Keep up the great work and thanks for labeling your products gluten free if they are. That is very much appreciated.

Diabetes Letters:


Email from: Linda Santo - February 8th 2005


Email!Subject: Thank you!

Hi Amy: I have been a diabetic with an eating disorder for over ten years. Recently I decided to get my act together and exercise and get my eating under control, while learning how to inject insulin and to take the correct doses with food.  My therapist and I decided, that while I am good cook, I am also a BIG eater - I have no portion control. What we agreed was that I would buy every Amy's product imaginable (never tried them but knew they were not made with junk) and use them for my meals and adding a salad. 

It has been great! Not only do I love your products, but having all the nutritional information makes it so much easier to control my diabetes.  I eat just what is there and feel satisfied. And I feel satisfied because your food tastes yummy, like I am cheating...

So thank you for helping me, finally , at 45, begin to live a healthier life.

Email from: Margaret and Stephen Jewell - February 2nd 2005

Email!Subject: Praises!

We wanted to email mail you and express our praises for your meals. We have recently discovered your meals during my pregnancy. I have gestational diabetes, and am vegetarian. I am allotted small amounts of carbohydrates at any one meal, and your meals have been a life saver; as well as, they are delicious.

Most of your meals fall within the guidelines I am allowed to have. I was trying to make their diet work with little fruit and whole grains (cereal, past etc.) I felt hungry all the time, and they wanted me to start eating some meat in order to get enough calories and protein.

We are not a processed food type family. We eat as much organic as we can find and afford. Your meals have greatly increased my options on this "special diet". My husband made one of your enchilada meals for him and our 2.5 year old. They loved them! They do not taste like "frozen prepared meals".

As a matter of fact, we just went shopping and my husband put several of your meals in the cart for himself. He found your pizzas, and had to try one. Our favorites so far are the enchilada meals, teriyaki bowl, and theSanta Feenchilada bowl.

Thank you for providing healthy, tasty, enjoyable food.
Margaret Jewell

PS we will need to stock up as we are expecting a new baby in 5 weeks. I know I won't want to cook!

Other Special Diets Letters:

Email!Dear Amy's Kitchen family,

I want to thank you all for your delicious meals and your dedication to sharing those meals with others. My sister (a vegetarian) introduced me to your Enchiladas a year ago and from that day forward I swore never to buy a frozen food product from another company. As a retail employee it is necessary I eat on-the-job (during breaks) at least five times a week, something that can become very costly, not to mention unhealthy given the inherent nature of mall food. Amy's frozen dinners and soups have not only promoted healthier eating habits, but also have cut my food expenses by more than half.

Both of my parents are borderline Type 2 diabetics and have high blood pressure, and I know now is the time to take control of my weight and health. Amy's is helping me to be more aware of important aspects of my diet, like portion sizes and nutrition.

I cannot write to you without one more thank you for encouraging me to try dishes I either never would have thought to try, or in the past disliked. I just adore your Palak Paneer and Mattar Paneer dishes! A year ago I never imagined I would rank spinach and garbanzo beans among my favorite foods, but there they are. I used to turn my nose up at soup, but your Lentil and Alphabet varieties are amazing (and fun!). I'm so excited to know there are new dishes, soups, and other foods being created all the time--I can't wait to try them all!

All the best in your future endeavors,
Leah, FL

Email!Dear Amy,
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for making many corn free products. I am very allergic to corn and find it almost impossible to find corn free food. My favorite is your spinach pizza. I also love your macaroni and cheese, broccoli potpie, brown rice and veggie bowl and spicy chili. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Bobbi

Dear Amy,
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful job you have done on the pizza. I have acid reflux and have to watch what I eat. And the pizza is the best! It gave me no problem with the tomato sauce which is always the case. I hope you keep do a great job and hope you keep up the good food coming!

Email!Dear Amy,

I want to send you all a huge heart felt Thank you!

My husband and I are a working couple in our 40's. My husband has an allergy to corn (and all products that come from corn). I have IBS and many food sensitivities.

It is a daily struggle to prepare all our meals from scratch. Standard convenience foods are just not possible and eating out is difficult at best.

Then our grocery store just opened a large natural food section and I found Amy's Cheese Lasagna! Made with REAL ingredients, just like I would make it! That was our first taste of Amy's.

Two days ago I brought home an Amy's cheese pizza. My husband was sooo excited. A pizza he could eat, not dusted with corn or with corn syrup in the sauce and made with whole wheat flour. Hey and we can add our own favorite topping of sliced tomatoes. All I have to do is add a big salad to one of your entres and dinner is set.

Thank you for giving me a break on my more hectic work days. We are looking forward to sampling more of your products.

Suzanne (call me Zanne)

P.S. Please continue to refrain from using corn or corn products when it makes sense.

Email!Dear Amy,

i've been a vegetarian for 33 years now (since i was 15) and i've always been disappointed in the prepared vegetarian foods out there. when i decided to go vegetarian (i'm ovo-lacto-cheeto, by the way) i gave up eating *flesh*, but i didn't want to give up *flavor*. with your dishes, i can get a variety of delicious, easy-to-prepare lunch and dinner meals that put an end to the idea that vegetarian food is boring. thanks for taking the sacrifice out of vegetarianism!

Email!Dear Amy,

I have been a vegetarian for over 12 years now and only discovered Amy's about a year ago... I am glad I did because I practically live on it now and have been eating healthier than ever! I enjoy almost every single product that you make. Eating on the go has never been easier, too! Thanks for making such a great line of food! Keep up the good work! Thanks a lot!

Email!Dear Amy,

Thanks so much for having vegan choices. Your dishes are absolutely great! I appreciate your clearly marked packages as it makes it so easy to be sure that I am getting what I'm looking for.

Email!Hi Amy's Kitchen Crew,

I've been a vegetarian for over ten years (back when you couldn't get a vegetarian meal in these parts, unless you made it yourself!) I came across the Amy's Kitchen products a number of years ago, because I picked up one of your pizzas! I recently started taking your bowls to work everyday for lunch, and now my fridge. is always full with at least a dozen of your products.

Thanks for being there for people like me. You have a great product. It tastes fantastic (I can't believe I finally found a prepared vegan meal that is edible

:-)!!) and I know it's good for me- I'm a stickler for reading all the ingredients and info on a product cover.

My favorites are the Country Cheddar Bowl and The Black-Eyed Peas and Brown Rice Bowl.
Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Marsha

I wanted to thank you for making gluten free frozen meals and soups (and making note of it on the label)!! I was diagnosed as gluten sensitive this past September. Even as a dietetics major with access to all of the information on gluten sensitivity I found the transtition slightly difficult since I was living mostly on frozen meals and quick foods. I was elated when I went to our grocery store and saw "Gluten Free" on a package of frozen enchiladas.

I LOVE the cheese pizza with rice crust!

Thanks!!!

Subject: Thanks

Email!Thanks so much to whom ever is responsible for those delicious soups.

I am having a total knee replacement in a couple of days and my doctor told me that my blood pressure had to come down and that I had to eat more foods with iron and less sodium in them.

Low and behold, I received my "Nutrition  Action" newsletter and in big bold print it tells all about Amy's soups and how they are low in sodium and all the things I need and they have flavor. It was like someone was answering my prayers.

I just had to find a place that sold them ("Stop & Shop" in my area) and best of all they were on sale. I shared a can with husband for lunch and I can't believe the unbelievable great taste. I tried the lentil soup and have a couple other kinds, but you have me sold on them.  My blood pressure has come down and my iron count has come up.

Once again, thanks for making it possible to eat a low sodium food that tastes great!  I will also be checking into the other foods that you offer.
