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!]

OH, it all looks so delicious!
That veggie burger looks INCREDIBLE! I’m always looking for ways to prove to my family that a veggie lifestyle doesn’t have to be boring.
The foods look delicious! I’ve been wanting to try a homemade veggie burger but am too afraid!

I love it! Have to have it!
I am always looking for better recipes for my family, and these look yummy! Plus, I call my little one “sweet pea” so that bib would be perfect for her. *crossing fingers*
How do you make a veggie burger look SO GOOD?! It’ll definitely be the first recipe I try if I win this book. :)
That salad looks amazing! We love chickpeas in the house! And our newest love is baked kale :)

You had me on the veggie burger – it looks amazing. Even the chickpea sauce looks so good. I’ve got to check out Mama Pea’s blog… she seems pretty big. I wonder if she has healthy desserts. :-) Thanks!!

Hello, veggie burgers! Can’t wait to try all these new recipes :) I’m in need of some healthy eats after making your Triple Layer Cookies and Cream Bars (out-of-this-world delicious, by the way)!
The cookbook is great! I hope to have one :)
I can’t wait to try that sauce. I looks wonderful!
Yum, yum, and yum. The burger? Looks amazing. The salad? Maybe even better. The “mmmm Sauce”? Best.Sauce.Name.Ever. Polite of you to wait for your swim until being asked. Shoot, I’d dive right in! I want this book so bad now!
Wow, sounds awesome! This would so take me out of my comfort zone in the kitchen, and that would probably be a very good thing!
I love Peas and Thank you and would really enjoy the cookbook.
Jessica! Love your posts,I check your blog almost daily,but I AM a vegetarian (Thank God for Morningstar Bacon).I feel like I know you. So I will confess: I am a complete recipe addict (ask any of my four young daughters,they don’t lie- okay sometimes they fib,it’s me who does not lie)! I want this cookbook ,pretty peas and thank you!!
i can’t wait to get my (oven) mitts on this book! :)
Mmhmm. Yep, I’ll take two of everything. Paper’s fine. Oh sure, if you’d like to help me out to my car, that’d be great. Why yes, it’s a hybrid… I think, anyway – it’s a rental. Honestly, I flew all the way here for the food. :D
Book looks amazing. I’ll have to check out her blog.
i am not ashamed to admit that the chickpea strawberry salad is making me drool a lil bit.
I want!!
This looks fantastic!
I love reading your posts. Some blogs, I just look at the recipe without reading much of the post content, but yours always crack me up! I LOVE thumbing through cookbooks and would love to have this one!
YUMMY
I’ve seen Mama Pea’s stuff before, it’s awesome she has a cookbook now!!
