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!]

I’ll Love to have this book!!! They recipes to try are always welcome!
Looks like a great cookbook, will definitely check it out!
I’m sure this book is the reason why you’re eating “so much” vegetables lately :P
Great giveaway! I have my fingers crossed!
Love Mama Pea! Who wouldn’t eat veggies when they are prepared as well as she does it! Great giveaway, thanks!
This book looks amazing! I’ve seen it written up on other blogs and everything looks so delicious. Would love to have a copy!
That chickpea strawberry salad…OMG. Looks SO good!
I would love to try that chickpea strawberry salad!
Wow, those recipes look amazing! LOVE your recipes too!
What a great giveaway!! I tried getting the cookbook at my bookstore and they didn’t have it !! I love your blog !
i need this book
I’m so not a vegetarian, but I am pretty much convinced that I need that book now – lol
Looks yummy
Yws, please.
That would be yes not yws.
Speaking as a guy that doesn’t really have a need for meat in his life, this book is just what I am looking for. Of course, it would have to share shelf space with my huge collection of How Sweet It Is recipes (mostly desserts, of course!). Made your Honey/Lime Tilapia with Blueberry/Lime Salsa the other night. Totally rocked!
This cookbook would be great for my vegetarian sister!
I made Mmm sauce for the first time this week. Why did I wait so long? I promptly used it as a salad dressing to consume an entire bag of romaine. :D Then made a second batch of sauce, to use on the veggies that I originally bought to go with the first batch of sauce.
Oh my gosh why have I not heard of this cookbook before! It’s looks amazing
Looks like a great cookbook!! =)
This cookbook would totally brighten my stressful year. We are to be homeless in 2 days, every house we put an offer in to buy is already taken or they reject our offer. Most current drama, the house we want has no water running to it! Oh please take me away with the delicious dealings in this book!
Sounds like a great cookbook, will definitely need to check that out! I too have a husband who believes that if it doesn’t have meat, it’s not a meal….so some yummy, healthy, able-to-add-meat recipes would do us some good!
Ran across your blog today and LOVE it!!
Oh. My. Gosh. That chick pea and strawberry salad looks WONDERFUL. I really need a book like this one. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
This cookbook looks awesome! I love the photos!
I would LOVE to own this cookbook. I eat vegetables for breakfast!!
All of those recipes look SO FANTASTIC! I’d love to win the cookbook!
That chickpea salad is to die for! I love any excuse to put berries in my salad…a little bacon might not hurt either :D
Looks like amazingly good (and healthy) food. Love anything Thai anyways, why not a veggie burger! Thanks for entering me!
Yum! That salad looks delicious!
I’d love a new cookbook! New ideas = happy family!!!
Ahhhhh pick me! I love cooking, but I’m SO bad at it and I’m trying to find fun recipes to get me motivated to practice and this looks so adorable it would be a great book for me to work through. I love your blog because it has such interesting and unique recipes that always turn out to be delicioius, and I’m sure this cookbook is the same. Thanks for do this contest and thanks for your consideration! =)

I would like this book plz!
Would just love this cookbook! I need some more variety in my life!
Oh that food does look good. I will gladly take that cookbook off your hands. :)
I just got engaged and we are having a quick wedding in 8 weeks *gasp* because we have a military family and this would be the perfect thing to start our married cooking experience!!!! :) He doesn’t have to know that it’s meatless does he? *wink*
I’m a graduate student and LOVE your blog. I’ve made almost every kind of muffin/cupcake/scone you offer. delicious.
i’m also obsessed with the puppy pictures you posted
Sounds Great!
If she can make you think about going vegetarian, there maybe hope that I could sneak some vegetarian recipes under my husband’s nose. :) I will definitely have to check this out!
Have gone 9 1/2 years without eating meat, always looking for good recipes.:)
Can’t wait to try the recipes out of this cookbook after I win it ;)
I’ve recently stumbled upon your website, and have been greatly enjoying it (and your love for peanut butter!) The cookbook looks pretty awesome, and I may have to check it out either way =)
i want it sooo bad
I feel your pain about veggies! So maybe winning the cookbook will make me healthier. I do have to say that salad looked soo yummy. If I don’t win it you could just strive to make all of it’s recipe so I can take second place, wait we all get second place this way. Me likes! Though there is something special about holding a book! ;) but I’m still in love with the better than crack brownies!
To make up for the cupcakes you posted today that I’m BOUND to make immediately, I think I NEED this cookbook. :)
The salad and veggie burger looks fantastic. I will have to check out this cookbook. I love trying interesting new vegetarian meals even though I myself do eat meat. Another reason it would be great to find some scrumptious vegetarian recipies is I am a registered dietitian and I love to prove to people that healthy food can be delicious!!! Love your blog. :)
I’m on the verge of buying this awesome book, but a free one would be even better!!! : )
