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!]

That sauce looks so good and the salad too. Sure, I would love to have a copy of this book.
The veggie burger looks amazing!!!
I NEEDDD this book!
eeeee perfect for a vegetarian like me!
Posting a comment to enter – I’m collecting cookbooks as a newly fledged, college-aged chef who’s so beyond excited to have discovered a world she can really sink her teeth into – pun slightly intended. Looks wonderful!
Love your blog, I read it everyday and use countless recipes! (especially the baked goods)
Your chickpea strawberry salad from the cookbook looks amazing… I am thinking you roasted the chickpeas yourself though?! yum, I may make it tonight
Love your blog! I found it looking for a S’mores Pie recipe (which I did find; WOW!), for a pie-off we organized in our office.
I think you’re incredibly funny and I enjoy reading all your posts. I especially loved the ones about your grandmother. So funny and touching at the same time!
Thanks for the great recipes!
i love your blog.
would love to win this cookbook!
I’ve heard so many good things about this book! I want. :)
Ummmm, yep, and YUMMMMMM! to all you said. I’m not a vegetarian, but want to eat more veggies. Have found MamaPea and pretty much obsessed. Cooked my first veggie burger last night and ate 2!!!! Doing a week of MamaPea from her blog, the cookbook might aid me in a total conversion =)
I Love Mama Pea! I have been dying to try more of her recipes. Her MMM sauce is my favorite.
LOVE your blog!! Pick me!
I’d love to try some vegan recipes! Pick me please!
Oh my goodness. That salad…I swear I am drooling. I would love this book!~
Oh my all things that are holy. That burger looks amazing. I could quite possibly eat like 12!
hi!! i’ve been obsessing over your blog and instagram for the past few weeks. tried the cookies and cream cupcakes (they were a hit), the smushy s’more things (yum!), and most recently one of your muffin recipes (coworkers loved them). i’m just starting to venture into the world of cooking/baking and i’ve loved trying your recipes (and looking at your beautiful pics and reading your funny commentary)!
wanted to comment to enter but also to finally tell you how much i’ve been enjoying and sharing your site! :)
Love your blog (read every day!). Definitely need to get my hands on this book!!
I love seeing all the recipes that you make. I’ve tried a could and can’t wait to try more.
Yum-o
Jessica,
This may sound a bit strange since we’ve never talked before…well, okay, it probably is going to come across as a lot strange but here goes:
I am a budding cook just hitting the halfway mark in college. Be that as it may, I stumbled across your website with hopes of finding an easy but still exciting recipe index. Boy, did I hit the jackpot on that one! Not only have I tried multiple recipes (and bookmarked sooo many more), but I have found a few of my all-time favorite dishes within the posts of this blog. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to share both your recipes and your enjoyable sense of humor with the likes of this blog crowd.
And personally, thank you for unintentionally inspiring me to learn and grow in the kitchen.
Chelsea
P.S. This book looks amazing since vegetables are my absolute favorite base for dishes! Like you though, I have to be able to sub in meat for my man. ;P
Me, PEAS!
My husband loves me just a little bit more since discovering your blog. Thanks for all the fabulous recipes!
This book sounds perfect since I am a vegetarian! Thanks for introducing me to this new blog!
Wowzers! If you love it then I will love it too. I’ll check it out!
Just FYI, I enjoy coincidentally noncharacterisic weeks. For totally random people like me, they’re cool. What a yummy cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity! : D

That burger looks amazing! I definitely need to try that out in our family! I’ve got a few teens who are trying to eat super healthy so that book sounds great!
I’d like to try some meatless meals… even though I generally am the opposite in my usual fare as well!
jessica,
reading your blog from the confines of my mundane office is always a sweet and bitter experience- it always brightens my moments and makes me bitterly long for whatever you’ve made and standing barefoot in my kitchen recreating it. thank you for your continual inspiration! (especially to eat veggies…)
I love Mama Pea! Her blog is so funny and her dishes always look so delicious. I have yet to buy the book so I’d love to win one. Here’s hoping :-)
I want this book! You have me totally sold! And it helps that I mostly eat vegetarian anyways. Thanks Jessica!
The chickpeas on that salad look so delicious!
This cookbook looks fabulous! I would love to win it and try out some of the amazing receipes!!
You’re blog is also hilarious! I love checking it out every day!
that yumm sauce looks awesome! can’t wait to try it! and ps I love your blog I made the pretzel peanut butter brownies last night and I’m going to go hide them from myself before I eat the rest of the pan.
Yum! Love the blog and would love this cookbook–looks amazing!!
Looks super yummy!
I would love this!!
Oh lord, that burger. I want it in my mouth and all over my face.
Love this!
Out of 1500 comments, I doubt I’ll be chosen, but I’m still gonna try!
If you loved it I’m pretty sure I would too!
Would love to learn to cook some meatless recipes!
I’ve been looking for some delicious meatless recipes (even though I lift heavy and probably need even more protein than I already eat). The recipes look and sound amazing.
I love her!! I would love to win her cookbook :)
