Artichoke Brown Rice Salad from the lovely Mia (Mia’s Domain)

I could seriously go on and on and on and on (you get the picture) about how AMAZING Mia is from Mia’s Domain.  I mean, she is so unbelievably talented that I could almost drool over her pictures.  Mia is so creative with her recipes and the beauty of it all is that she uses all REAL food.  A girl after my own heart 🙂

About Mia…

I have no formal training and I’m not a professional chef, nor do I claim to be a photographer. I am simply sharing my joy of food with you. It’s also important to mention that my recipes are not as much about dieting, as they are about enjoying REAL unprocessed food. I will also continue to share recent articles that further support my beliefs regarding food and wellness related issues.

Ok, Mia take it away….
