Going through a breakup can be one of the hardest things to face. But it's important to remember that you will get through it, and time heals! I'm taking it one step at a time and I'm excited to get back out there and start dating again. It's been a journey of personal growth and life lessons that have reminded me of the power of self-love. Here's to moving on and embracing the beauty of the future! šŸ’—

Time is never kind, but itā€™s the mother of life. With each passing day, we have a choice to live the life that we want to live or waste it. I choose to live my life the way that I want to live. Itā€™s just to laugh, to cry, to dream big, to love, to hate. I choose to feel every bit of my life. I decide to confront my decisions and their circumstances simply, but I prefer to live on my own terms.

A big bowl of homemade crema is always a family favorite! It brings back fond memories of my childhood and I just love making it. The smooth, creamy texture and tangy flavor make it a perfect complement to any dish. From tacos to enchiladas, there's nothing quite like homemade crema to take your meal to the next level.

Chef Melissa Araujo

I was born in La Ceiba , AtlƔntida Honduras. It is a small beach town in the Atlantic Coast of Honduras. She spent the summer in Honduras, learning the heritage and helping her grandmother with the farm. In the fall, she was back to Rhode Island where life was different but exciting in every way. Life and family inspired Melissa to enter the culinary industry and after working in local restaurants right out of high school, she focused all of her efforts in learning the craft.

Her work history includes but is not limited to:

1999-2006: Melissa worked in Milan, Italy. There, she developed and perfected her style of cooking. She worked under Chef Michael White.

In 2011, Melissa worked at Mondoā€™s Restaurant for Chef Susan Spicer (James Beard Award winner for best Chef in South 2010)
