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 love your blog! And am a fellow Trader Joes junkie! My boyfriend still eats like a college student (even though he’s 26) so i need to find a better way to sneak some veggies into him!
That chickpea strawberry salad looks AMAZING! I’m trying to do more meatless meals for both health reasons and frugal reasons, but I’m married to a “meat and potatoes” man, so it’s a challenge.
Ahh! I’ve been wanting her book so bad!
YUM that book looks amazing!
I could use a few more veggies in our diet. This cookbook would be good for me!

I <3 mama pea!!!!!
You sold me on that cookbook! Hopefully, you can “sell” me a giveaway copy:)
One of my roommates is a vegetarian and we have trouble having roommate dinners because the rest of us love meat! We could use this fun filled veggi cookbook to bring the joy back to our roommate dinners!!
Those dishes look amazing! I have been looking for more ways to cook meals full of veggies!
Love a cookbook with some much needed inspiration!
I am so excited for this cookbook! Everyone has been raving about it and let’s face it, Mama Pea is fantastic! Another blogger is having a giveaway too and you had to comment with one of your favorite recipes- naturally I shared a link to your AMAZING chocolate peanut butter granola bites- seriously Jessica… those things are insane. I am obsessed. I admit it. LOVE.
Hope I win so I can branch out form just making your granola recipe every other day! Haha!
That strawberry salad looks AMAZING!!!
These dishes look amazing! I would love to try some recipes from the book, my boyfriend’s sister is allergic to dairy so some new recipes for things the whole family could eat would be awesome :)
A Mama Pea giveaway on How Sweets blog? Made.My.Day!!
I’m awaiting for Mama Pea’s book to arrive on my doorstep as we speak! I absolutely can’t wait. And I had NO idea Ashley did most of the photography! How cool!
I like that photo of the veggie burger lots. A whole lot.
I so want this book! Everything Mama Pea makes looks amazing. If I don’t win- I’m buying!
My husband is from TEXAS need I say more (Meat and Potatoes man). It is a everyday thing to try and get him to eat more (If any) Veggies. I love the look of this cook book, everything looks so yummy. I just made him Thai Ginger Chicken (Made out of turkey and didn’t tell him LOL). He loved them! They were topped with red onion, bib lettuce, and english cucumbers. So needless to say I’m always looking for new meat or meatless foods for us to be more healhy, and to help my Texan try something new and exciting for his taste buds.
Oh yum! This cookbook sounds awesome — I really hope to win it :) Thanks!
Wow… that chickpea and strawberry salad looks AMAZING!
I LOVE veggies and could put this cookbook to good use! Starting a new blog and there maybe a few recipes from Mama Pea that make a cameo on there… I love the little bib and apron too!
Any comment! Haha – just kidding. I’d love to have this cookbook so I can get inspired by some new ‘clean’ eating dishes. My daily Lean Cuisines aren’t the healthiest things. Great veggie postings this week Jess – looking forward to some chocolate and bacon next week! :)
