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! At Sarah’s generous behest, I’m offering one lucky Choosing Raw reader a copy of the Peas and Thank You Cookbook. To enter, you can do any or all of the following. They count as separate entries, so please leave a comment on this post for each:
1) Follow Choosing Raw on Twitter.
2) Like Choosing Raw on Facebook.
3) Tweet the following: @choosingraw is giving away a free copy of the @Mama_Pea cookbook. Enter here! https://bit.ly/qsTouL
4) Like Peas and Thank You on Facebook
5) Leave me a comment telling me why you’re excited to own this book.
I’ll announce the winner precisely 1 week from today, on August 23rd.
Tomorrow, expect another Choosing Raw baking venture that’s pea-worthy. And goes really nicely with raw whipped cream.

I’d like to win the book to help expand my baking skills
follow you on twitter!
I am always looking for cookbooks with great recipes!!
I would really like to win the book because first and foremost, I love collecting and experimenting with various vegetarian/vegan/raw food recipes. The more interesting and unique the recipe, the more excited I get. My family is slowly moving into eating vegetarian meals and as with all of my cooking, I try to maintain loving thoughts and cooking is one of the ways I show love for my family and friends. I took a look at some of the pictures in the book that you have posted online and my mouth started watering, great photography as well, kudos to everyone who put it together. If I win, I know I will share what I cook from the book with family and friends which will probably help promote the book as well. This is just a small thing I can do to help the author as well as my family and friends and the planet. Also I really appreciate the opportunity to win the book.
I am really excited to read this book! I’ve been following mama pea for a while and I can’t wait to have the recipes in one handy book.

I don’t know how to do twitter, or I would have.
I would love to win the cook book because hubby and I are new to healthy eating. We have been vegan for about 2 months. We aren’t quite sure what to eat half the time. Salad is getting boring even though I love them. I would love to have more to choose from. I have been following Peas and Thank you for a few months as well. She has a great way of writing and fun to follow her cute little family. I have grandkids that young, so I am thouroughly enjoying it. I am glad to have found your site as well. Looking forward to healthier eating.
Now following you on twitter!

I NEED this book! I’m in a serious cooking rut right now, and this is the BEST way to bring me out of it!
I would love to win this recipe book so that I could give it to my friend whose little boy Nate (3) only eats white food! I liked Choosing Raw and the Peas and Thank You on FB. 🙂
All of MamaPea’s recipes look so delicious! I’d love to own a copy of this book because I recently read The China Study and I’m trying to incorporate more vegan meals into my diet. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!
I am going to be teaching at an after school program this year at the YMCA where I will be working with kids from kindergarten to 7th grade. When I got the job I found out that I would have access to a kitchen where I could help guide the kids in culinary activities. I would love to make some yummy vegan treats with the kids and help to show them the deliciousness of a plant based diet! I think this book would be a great help because it is so kid friendly (not to mention tested and approved)! Awesome giveaway!

I’m a longtime vegetarian and I’m starting to eat more and more vegan. Her recipes have never let me down so Id love this cookbook!
I liked both you and Mama Pea on Facebook, and I have to say that you both always have fantastic recipes. I would love to share Mama Pea’s new cookbook with my sister-in-law who is expecting in November. Thanks!
I’d loooove to win this cookbook! I just got married and am feeling uber domestic which means feeding many delicous vegan and veg meals to my meat-loving husband needed. So far he isn’t missing the meat, but I know Mama Pea’s cookbook would help 🙂
love her blog and would love her cookbook especially with two of my own little ones!
I just recently discovered Mama Pea and love her! I laugh out loud over her blog. 🙂 I adore eating a plant-based diet, but need creative ideas so my hubby will love it too….and more ideas to keep the momentum going with my one-year old. Life will only get busier!
ok -one more entry for the book. In our house we eat mostly vegan, most of the time… I’m always looking for healthy kid friendly vegan foods that are easy to prepare. Just found Mama Pea’s blog recently — I’m very excited about the book.

I’m super excited to own this book because I’ve recently gone vegetarian and I’m constantly discovering new ways to get creative in the kitchen! Plus, MP is hilarious – I’d want the book just for the stories even if there weren’t any recipes. 🙂
Love all the vegan friendly, easy peasy recipes! Oh and they taste soooo good too. ‘wish I’d had this when my kids were small…I will be best vegan gramma ever!
I am excited about this book because I LOVE finding family friends recipes to share with my friends and partner. I think I will pass along this treasure if I win though. One of my best friends just started her family and is going through some hard times… this could be a great pick-her-up gift!

About book, I love that blog so I am sure I will love Sarah’s book too. She funny and has good sense of humor. I can relate to her stories as I am in similar boat (You know, it feels like I know her). I live in Seattle so when she was here, I really wanted to go for recording my it did not work due to my work schedule….So I would really like to have her book. I bought one but it was gift for one friend,. Now I want to own a copy for myself.
Where do you buy hemp? seed? I am reading Thrive and 40% raw. For next level, I need to include these in my diet so please advice. Google returns so many vendors but I will wait for your recommendation as many of your recipes you use hemp…..Please advise.
Found your post onhemp seed….https://www.thefullhelping.com/the-low-down-on-vegan-protein-powders/
I love Mama Pea’s recipes. And have been seeing previews for the book all over the place and what I’ve seen it looks fabulous. And it would just be a great book to add to my collection if I were to win.
I can’t wait to read more of Mama Pea’s stories.
I am mom and we are vegetarian. However, Dairy is tough one to eliminate. So I am looking forward to this book so that I can create yummy treats without dairy.
Thanks

I just discovered “Peas and Thank You” a few weeks ago. I am SO excited about this book and trying her recipes. I am trying hard to eat better and do so as a vegetarian, so I would welcome her ideas and suggestions. Plus, with her help, my family will eat what I make too!
I’d love to win the cookbook- I’ve been slowly eliminating meat out of my diet, but now I need to work more creativity into my meals.

I would like this book because I have been loving Mama Peas blog for a long time now, and I don’t think you can say that you are a proper fan, if you don’t own the book. Also, I am trying to get my mom to transition, and I think all the very accessible recipes in this book will go a long way with her!

I’m excited to win this book because I love Mama Pea’s recipes, everyone I’ve tried has been a winner (and no one can tell they’re vegan!)
Mama Pea is hysterical. Funny stories and yummy, healthy recipes? A great combo!
I love Mama Pea and have a boyfriend and little nephew who could both use more plant foods in their diet. I am excited about getting this book and sharing it with my sister so we can further help them on that path. Thank you!! (I also liked the page on FB:)
I “liked’ the book on FaceBook! I love cookbooks! I am always looking for ways to add veggies to my meals and try to have one daily meal that is raw and or vegan but always gluten free. I am working on cutting out grains.
