Over eighty-five “recipeas” = one very happy family. “A wonderfully accessible cookbook designed to help kids learn to love veggies from day one.” —The Oregonian When Sarah Matheny, creator of the popular blog Peas and Thank You, decided to eliminate animal products from her diet, she knew there’d be skeptics. Her husband was raised on the standard American diet. Her grandpa was a butcher. Her mom was the best home cook around, with a generous pat of butter here and a crumble of bacon there. But now Sarah is a mom who wants to feed her children right. Out went the diet soda. In came the smoothies. Out went the “nutrition” bars. In came the nutritious cookies. Out went a tired, caffeine-fueled mom. In came Mama Pea. Peas and Thank You is a collection of recipes and stories from a mainstream family eating a not-so-mainstream diet. Filled with healthy and delicious versions of foods we’ve all grown up enjoying, but with a Mama Pea twist—no meat, lots of fresh ingredients and plenty of nutrition for growing Peas. From wholesome breakfasts to mouth-watering desserts, there’s plenty here to satisfy the pickiest Peas in your life. It’s easier than ever to whip up crowd-pleasing meals that will have the whole family asking for, “more, Peas.” “Good for your health and I am all for that.” —Tosca Reno, New York Times–bestselling author of Your Best Body Now “This will breathe new life into your kitchen.” —Isa Chandra Moskowitz, author of The Superfun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook “Even meat lovers will want to take a seat at her table.” —Babble

NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — COOKBOOKS: GENERAL Looking for ways to get your kids to eat more veggies? Packed with creative recipes, this modern approach to classic family comfort foods ups the nutritional ante—infusing TONS of healthful vegetables into every dish (even snacks and desserts!)—while always putting flavor first. As a chef and cookbook author, Nikki Dinki loves veggies. But like most parents, getting her kids to love them is a work in progress. There will always be a side of veggies on their dinner plates, but when those veggies go untouched, Nikki doesn’t stress. That’s because her cooking incorporates vegetables at every turn: the kids may not have eaten their sides of peas, but they ate cauliflower and sweet potatoes in their Mac and Cheese, devoured Green Eggs (with spinach) and White Bean Pancakes for breakfast, and asked for seconds of the Zucchini Crust Pizzas at lunch! Although the veggies are sometimes hidden—your kids will be eating mushrooms and eggplant without thinking twice!—the real goal is using the qualities of each vegetable to make each classic, family meals even better than the original version. In these recipes, mushrooms enhance the beefy taste of the Mushroom and Onion Burgers, while eggplant replaces egg for breading on Chicken Tenders and Chicken Parmesan, which keeps them irresistibly moist. Inside, discover other delicious recipes that will become mealtime staples, including: Chicken Pot Pie with Sweet Potato Crust Cauliflower + Yogurt Bagels Eggplant Parm Meatballs Pumpkin Pasta Dough Taco Meat (with Pinto Beans) Mac and Cheese with Caulilfower + Sweet Potato Chicken Nuggets with Beans + Carrots Creamed Spinach Garlic Bread Loaded Queso (with Squash) Banana Carrot Oat Muffins Eggplant Marinara Sauce Brooklyn Blackout Cake (with Beets + Avocado) Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls But fear not: there are no fancy ingredients or complicated cooking techniques.
