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.
dirty placemat… ain’t no thang.
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!]

This would make a fabulous addition to my ever-growing cookbook collection! What a great giveaway! *fingers & toes crossed* :)
I love Mama Pea. What an awesome giveaway.
Ok- Just want to say I’ve been following you for nearly a year, and last month you made my toolbar lol I <3 you, you're hilarious!
The recipes you made look delicious–I could always use some more meal inspiration!
Oh I want to make those burgers!!
These burgers look AMAZING! My little sister is a recent vegetarian, and as a family who LOVES steak, it’s become quite the challenge. I know what I’ll be sending to my mom for her birthday!
Looks great – my kids are pretty adventurous eaters, but I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to use veggies.
Yum– Yes, please! My soon-to-be mother-in-law has gone vegan in the last month attempting to live a healthier lifestyle and get ready for the wedding! What a great book for her!
I want a pea pack!!
They all look delicious! And cinnamon vinaigrette? Crazy! I might have to try that today!
That burger looks SO good. Yes please!
I can’t wait to try the mmmm sauce!!!
Ooooh! Pick me!
This looks like a great cookbook! I’d love to try the strawberry chickpea salad. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow – this would be so much fun! Much like you, I’d NEED to add me some meat. yummm.
I almost licked my computer screen when I saw the picture of the salad! And I am definitely going to try to make those burgers!!!
Ooooh! I love this!
I love Peas and Thank you and would love to try the recipes in this book!
That veggie burger looks great!
How fun! Looks like some great ideas in there!
Those burgers look delish!
WOW those burgers looks AMAAAAZING!!!!!!
I’m convinced this book could make vegans and carnivores BFFs. :)
I read both of yalls blogs every day. Would love a chance to win this cookbook and try some new healthy dishes!!
I am always looking for great ways to fix veggies. I would love to have this book, the recipes you featured look great.
oh those look SO yummy! and that Pea Pack looks FAB!
I’ve heard such good things about the book! And I’m making mmm sauce as soon as I can get my lazy self over to the closest co-op for the ingredients.
Neeed this cookbook, especially with all of these vegetables from my farmshare!
You make any recipe look good so all of those look amazing!
I admit, I’ve never understood the whole vegetarian/vegan lifestyle…I love my burgers too much for that :), but I am literally drooling right now for that thai burger and salad (yes both, at once, must have). I think I’m converted. If only I had a good cookbook to use…What I wouldn’t give for a nice healthy Peas and Thank You meal, followed by some of your Peanut Butter Fudge Pretzel bars (made with lots of love and “help” from my girls of course :)
ps…Crunchy, crumbly bacon would make those bars–absolutely, hands-down even more perfect (if that were possible) Just sayin…Have a great day!
I’ve been trying to find ways to get my husband to eat more veggies and this cookbook just might be the way to go ~ Everything you made from it looks amazing!!
Who doesn’t want a salad with cinnamon vinaigrette? I love any new ways to get my kids to eat veggies!
This book looks amazing although I’ve never tried to cook a whole meal without meat! Love your blog.
I LOVE her blog and I would love to win her book!
umm, yuuuuummmmm! it all looks SOOOO good!
p.s. you are adding years to my life by making me laugh so much! seriously.
That salad looks amazing. Heck, all your food looks amazing!
I need to add that book to my vegetarian cookbook collection, even though I still insist on frying my tofu in bacon fat.
I need this book to help me eat veggies!! Pick me please :)
I want to win!
Well this is fun! I hope I win!
I am dying to make MMM sauce! I need to get on the ball!
Love Mama Pea! I made her zucchini quinoa lasagna and it was glorious.
Oh my goodness, there are a lot of comments on this post. I’ve been wanting to try more vegan/vegetarian recipes (certainly not because I’m vegan/vegetarian… just because raw foods & less meat seem like a good idea). P.S. Your portabello sliders LOOK AMAZING!
I love your blog!! Thanks for the giveaway! :)
i love your blog. for real. not just sucking up to win a cookbook. it’s honestly just the first thing that came to mind. anyway, that’s all. i’ll shut up now.
Oh gosh, I NEED to make that Mmm sauce already!
The salad looks amazing!!! Did you saute the chickpeas or toast them in the oven?
Looks incredibly delicious!!
Looks fantastic!! Yes, please! :)
I would love to win this book to try out all of Mama Pea’s recipeas! :)
its possible that after eating your peanut butter fudge pretzel brownies for dinner last night i need some more vegetables in my life… perhaps this cookbook could help!
