Peas and Thank You Cookbook Giveaway!
Oh my yum.
I know this has been a coincidentally uncharacteristic week on How Sweet It Is, but I promise tomorrow will more than make up for it. Monday too. You’ll be lucky if you can button your pants by Tuesday.
I am super excited about this giveaway! In fact, my excitement has grown every single day this week.. because I can’t stop eating things out of this book.
MamaPea is the creator of the blog Peas and Thank You, if you didn’t know. She has some of the cutest kids I’ve ever seen and will make you wet your pants on a daily basis with her hilarity. She just wrote this fabulous cookbook which is so much more than just a cookbook. [Bonus: my close friend Ashley did much of the food photography for the book!] She is also vegan, which yeah… is the complete opposite of me.
But the thing is, we love a lot of the same foods. She just makes them with different (uhh… and healthier) ingredients and lots of vegetables. Ew?
I may not love vegetables, but I love delicious food. Really love it. Duh! And there have been countless times over the last year and a half I’ve been blogging that I’ve made one of her recipes (can we say dough balls?), because if she can’t get me to eat vegetables then I doubt anyone can. #imscrewed
The minute I got my hands on her book I made the thai veggie burgers.
Get.in.my.mouth.
Holy cow, these were flippin’ delicious. It was my first time making a veggie burger and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I want to lay my head down on a thai burger pillow tonight.
I also made a batch of the ever popular mmm sauce, which I promptly slathered on my [third] thai veggie burger.
Sure I’ll swim in this bowl. Thanks for asking.
And yesterday afternoon, I ate this chickpea strawberry salad then almost died.
Not because I ate so many vegetables at once, but because this salad was so amazingly good. I immediately wanted to pour the remaining cinnamon vinaigrette over my head. Then I emailed MamaPea and told her that this was probably the best cookbook I have tried recipes from since my beloved Williams Sonoma Handbook. That is huge! And it doesn’t even have bacon in it.
The recipes are mostly vegetarian with a handful of vegan ones, and are so easy but so delicious – I find them to be extremely adaptable for when you do want to add meat or in my case… need to add meat for that guy you life with. Trust me: you want this book. [If you have any doubts, just check out the SIXTY TWO 5 star reviews.]
Today you can enter to win a copy of the book! In addition, you’ll also get a “pea pack” with all of these fun things, and I’m totally jealous though I have no need for an apron that says “Mama” or a bib. Except for that guy I… yeah, you know.
To Enter: Just leave a comment on this post. Any comment. Go!
[Contest closes Friday, Aug 12th at midnight EST.] [If you absolutely can’t wait to get your hands on the book or want to order one for your friends, click here!]

Seriously, though, this cookbook has been getting rave reviews. I’d love to get my paws on one!
Hey there! I’m new to your blog but am already LOVING your posts! I’ve heard a lot about this cookbook, but as a fellow non-vegetarian, I’m so glad to see all your positive feedback! So helpful!
This book has popped up on a few blogs I check for new recipes to try out on the husband. I’d love to win it but if not it will be added to the Christmas wish list for this year which right now is a whole lot of cookbooks and some random Star Wars things for the kitchen. Who doesn’t want Han Solo in carbonite shaped ice?
So glad I found your blog. Made your tomatoes last night and they were indeed delish. Can’t wait to dig into the pretzel brownies and the better-than-crack brownies soon.
Okay, so you totally had this give-a-way JUST for me!!! I never win anything, my have my fingers crossed this time!!!! Haha! Thank you for the post….I might just have to order for myself! Have a great day Jessica! :)

I want this cookbook! Everything looks so delicious.
I need to get my grubby little hands on this. I am off school all week the 22nd and my poor blog could use some quality information for a post. That and my belly could use some good food since I’m currently sustaining life on pop chips and frozen yogurt.
Veggies Rule!
I was a vegetarian growing up. Though I eat meat two or three meals a week, I’m still focused on veggies. Trying to raise my two little niblets to love vegetables as much as I do. What a great book. I love her blog. And I love yours!
I have heard only good things about this book, both from non-vegetarians! All of the recipes look pretty easy to make and fantastic. I’d love to win a copy!
Looking for a new veggie burger recipe! Looks delicious!
Love your blog!!
I figured there may be nutritional yeast in that mmmm sauce. I just bought some and am trying to find new ways to use it (it’s delish on popcorn, that I know for sure :)

Try making kale chips with it – that’s the only way I eat my veggies and I love it! I make them probably 4-5 days a week. http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/04/a-good-fish-sandwich-with-chips/
I would love this cookbook as some of my family is allergic to everything but vegetables!
oh my word, I can’t even imagine the deliciousness of that chickpea strawberry salad!
love this!

I want to make those veggie burgs. I’ll def need to get a copy of that cookbook – free or not!
