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 would LOVE to win this… Finn would look so cute in that bib! :)
We can’t wait to start cooking from this book..help us get started! Thanks!!
I am glad to know that these recipes are easily adaptable. I wanted to buy it but Keith will only eat something with meat in (just like your husband) so I was hesitant to get a copy because I am NOT making two separate meals each night. No way. No how. Such a good wife.
I have been looking for a good vegetarian cookbook!! This one looks great, that chickpea salad is making my mouth water! I hope I win!
oh my this is a fun giveaway! i’ve been wanting to get that cookbook myself! :)
Pick me! I would love this!
I have been wanting to try more veg recipes but am super uncreative with my meals that don’t involve meat. I’m definitely going to check it out, and probably get one of my own if I don’t win this little contest ;)
I.WANT.THAT.COOKBOOK. OH, AND PLEASE.
I am addicted to cookbooks and this looks like a great one!
My granddaughter Claire would look adorable in the bib and I’m always trying to get my carnivorous hubby to eat more veggies (I’m a baconivore myself)!
every recipe I see in blog-land from this cookbook seems to make my mouth water something fierce.
Pick Me!!
Mmmm….looks so yummy. I am a sweet lover at heart, but love me some veggies every now and again!
Both of your blogs are go-to resources when it’s time to plan dinners for the week! I’d love to win a copy of the cookbook!
I could really use this! In less than 2 months my baby is going to start eating solid food and we are looking for healthy veggie recipes!
ok, if you are recommending a vegan cookbook, I know it must be good!! I love mama pea’s site and have made/adapted a few of her recipes as well – they’re always winners!
Great giveaway! In our house we try to at least one meatless night….this would totally help come up with some great ideas!!!!
Oh I want to win this! :)
I haven’t won one yet… I’m hoping this is the lucky comment. That salad looks delicious, too!
Mmmmmmm! It all looks amazing. There’s a container of chickpeas in my freezer with Yummm sauce written alllllllll over it!
Salad looks so yummy!
I love Mama Pea’s and your blog as well! I would love to try some things out of the book!
That chickpea strawberry salad looks absolutely amazing!
I would love this!
I’d be so inspired in so many ways, cookbook + aprons!
Woo! I want to try her food!
That looks fabulous!
I need this cookbook!!! If I don’t win this giveaway I am so buying it!!!
Holy goodness! I’ve been cooking more and more vegetarian dishes lately (don’t worry, there’s a bacon exception unless actual vegitarians are over!). I love Mama Pea’s blog, and love that you’re showing the love for her AND for us!
That chickpea strawberry salad looks amazing!
I found this blog about a month ago and made the strawberry tacos. I’ve been hooked ever since (especially to the cupcakes for two). Now I’ll have to check out Mama Pea’s blog too. Thanks for the giveaway!
this looks like a great book and you seem to enjoy it very much!! :)
Yum! Love her blog. Makes me feel healthier just reading it!
I’ve seen the Mmmm Sauce on soo mnay blogs lately. Looks like I’m going to have to see what all the fuss is about! Love Mama Pea! Would loveeeee this cookbook, especially because I have been leaning towards a more vegetarian lifestyle lately. (And yes, I blame that soley on the healthy living blog world.)
And also, I’d like to say that I do in fact know how to spell vegetarians. Promise.
I don’t really believe in vegetables, but this seems like the book that could change my mind. :-)
would LOVE to win this cookbook! And please share those recipes soon Jessica, they sound awesome!
I have heard AMAZING things about this book as well!! My sister just had a baby and she is a recent vegetarian/ogranic nut and I am constantly trying to help her find recipes that fit for her and the new addition. If I won the prize pack I also think I could share the wealth with the baby items as well! :)
I love me a good cookbook!
I need to win this! NEED to. You just don’t understand. :)
here I am!!!
All I have to say is YUM.
Would love, love, LOVE to have this cookbook. I’ve only been a vegetarian since April and sometimes get stuck in the same few recipes. That chickpea salad looks amazing!
