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!]

Those veggie burgers look so yummy!
I would love a copy of her cookbook – she’s so creative! I want to be that kind of mom when I have kids! :)
(Your recipes are awesome and your posts keeps me laughing! Awesome blog!)
I’ve been trying to talk my husband into eating vegetarian more often…not just for the health reasons, but for economic reasons as well. I love the idea of this book.
yummm i need the recipie for that salad dressing!!
I discovered your blog about a month ago and I love it! I’m 38 weeks preggo and for the last few weeks I can’t get enough of your desserts and cookies! I take one look at your amazing photos and I start craving that item immediately! I even made a few batches of cookies and stored them in the freezer so when the baby comes I have a nice little snack!!
I already have my copy, but I want one for my friend who recently started experimenting with vegan cooking.
Your blog and Mama Pea’s are two of my favorites!
sounds like a great cookbook!!
I made the Mmmm sauce just last week for the first time, it was awesome. Definitely helps the brocolli go down. Would love to have the book so I can try those thai veggie burgers. If there is such a thing as a Vegan who eats bacon occasionally on weekends…sign me up. Thanks!
The best day was when I found this blog. I think the recipe that day was the rootbeer float cupcakes. True Love? Yes.

Just found your blog and i can’t wait to “dive in”…..!
I love your site, and salivate over your pictures daily. I recently went grain, sugar and dairy free (which is why I NEED this cookbook!), so I don’t get do enjoy your recipe’s as often as I used to. I still torture myself by coming here daily :)
It’s a double rainbow! All the way across the sky!! What does it mean?!
This looks awesome! I am not a vegetarian but I do try to eat meatless a couple times a week and would love some new recipes.
Cannot wait to get a copy of my own! Love peasandthankyou!
Oh. My. Goodness. That looks DELICIOUS! I would love to experiment with this book, it falls right into my 30/30 list – one of my items is to cook more. Pretty peas with a cherry on top?!
OMG all of it sounds amazing! The thai burger looks delicious.
Yum. That’s all! : )
I’ve never hear of Peas and Thank You, so thank you for the new blog to follow. If her recipies are as yummie as yours, I’ll have to start doing more of your workout circuits!

Mmm, that chickpea and strawberry salad looks divine.
I love your blog and am glad you finally found a way to con me into posting! Everything you make looks absolutely delicious–I’d make your recipes a lot more often if I knew I wouldn’t end up eating the whole thing :) I’m super excited about a chance to win this cookbook. I’m trying to eat healthier and am sure that, if you like the recipes in this book, then it may be the book to get me started out on the right foot. Thanks for doing what you do!
