Hey all!

Remember May, when I was all stressed out about moving, but took comfort in dinner with my friend Sarah (aka Mama Pea)? You may remember how our friendship inspired me to bake these vegan fig bars, which remain among my proudest baking accomplishments:

Now Sarah’s inspiring me again, with the triumphant and fun-filled publication of her cookbook, Peas and Thank You. It’s a fantastic resource for Moms who are trying to help their families transition into more heavily plant based diets, and it’s filled with fun tips for the home cook (pea points) as well as the intimate stories and images of family life that make Sarah’s blog so touching and fun to read.

The book is also full of mouth-watering photos, which happen to have been taken by another dear friend: Ms. Ashley.

Sarah’s food is accessible, healthy, and 100% family-friendly. If you’d like a chance to discover her recipes for yourself, look no further!

  9. I would reallly love to own this cookbook. It would be great to share the recipes with my own friends and family that think vegetarian cooking is “weird” and not as filling as animal-based cooking. I love the fact that one of my favorite bloggers now has a book. I’d love to add it to my collection.

  22. Peas and Thank You is one of my favorite blogs! Many of the recipies, such as the spicy chick pea stew, are my go tos. My carnivor spouse enjoys recipeas. Curious friends at work have been ‘sampling’ my lunches are beginning to join the vegan movement because of Peas recipeas!

  23. This would be great for my dairy-free husband who really likes meat to try some tasty vegan recipes.

  24. Just “liked” you on Facebook…I have not idea how to Tweet… 🙂

    I am ALWAYS looking for good vegetarian/vegan/raw cookbooks. I have been a vegetarian for about 5 years and am always looking for new and exciting recipes. Most of my family is from North Carolina so I am used to eating LOTS of unhealthy food! I check your blog everday for inspiration and have completely turned my eating style around.

    Now that I have a 7 month old, I am even more motivated to eat healthier and if this cookbook offers solutions for quick and easy meals, it’s for me! I work 9 hours a day and REALLY need more good, quick recipes under my belt. My husband and I want to teach our son healthy habits from the very start so we definitely look to people like you for ideas.

    Thanks for doing what you do!

  29. Following CR on Twitter and following P&TY on FB. 🙂 I’m excited about this book because I’m still transitioning into the vegan lifestyle and am always eager to learn new recipes and ideas. The more I know, the less likely I am to “slip.” I’d say that I’m 90% vegan and need that extra 10% boost. 🙂

  30. I am always looking for new cookbooks not only for my family but for the kids I babysit – think peas and thank you could be a winner for both!!

  34. After trying, somewhat unsuccessfully, to cut back on meat, we have decided to simply no longer purchase it at the grocery store. That way it isn’t even an option when I go to make dinner. I would love to have a cookbook like this to inspire me. Love that it is kid friendly.

  95. And lastly, I’m excited to own this book because I LOVE finding new, delicious vegetarian/vegan/raw recipes to enjoy and share the love with my meat-loving boyfriend, friends, and family. Sharing recipes from your site and others actually made my boyfriend say, “I’d go 100% raw if you ‘cooked’ or prepared food for me like this every day!!” I need some new recipes to continue to hold his attention 😉 Thanks!!
