Outta would have sampled Amy's organic frozen foods sooner, but didn't feel worthy. This is obsessively wholesome fare. All organic ingredients, no meat, fish, poultry or eggs. Filtered this. Soy that. And then there's the part about Amy, who isn't even the chef! "After the birth of our daughter Amy in 1987, we found there was little time to prepare the wholesome nutritious food we normally ate. Realizing there were others like ourselves we et up Amy's Kitchen to produce delicious, nourishing frozen meals for health conscious people too busy to cook." All this personal info, but no signature on the box from Amy's parents (just a post office box in Petaluma, Calif.) was too distracting for poor Outta, who wondered whether Amy had siblings who felt slighted or whether they, too, had a line of prepared foods named after them and whether Amy, who would now be 14, ever grabbed a burger at the McDonald's drive-thru or whether she grew up to be as persnickety as her parents. So you can see why it took a while to get around to sampling Amy's. But anyway, how's the grub? Pretty good! The shepherd's pie was a delicious mixture of tomatoes, garbanzo beans, onions, celery, leeks, turnips and mushrooms topped with mashed potatoes. There's soy milk in there, too, and sea salt and filtered water. The organic macaroni and cheese microwaved nicely. It contains low-fat milk, cheddar cheese (without animal enzymes or rennet) and butter. The macaroni had real body; it was dense and flavorful. Very filling.

Amy's tastes great, but all that sincerity!
