CW’s Café Today

Where Good Food Meets God’s Grace

Hi there! I’m Carol, a home cook, encourager, and a woman learning each day to walk in God’s amazing love.

CW’s Café Today began with my passion for cooking simple, comforting meals with pantry staples. Over time, it grew into something more, a place where I could share not only recipes but also reflections from my journey of faith, healing, and hope. Here, you’ll find easy, heartfelt recipes for your table, and messages of encouragement for your soul.

Because life, like cooking, is better when it’s seasoned with a little grace.

My heart’s desire is that this café feels like a cozy gathering place, where we swap meals, prayers, stories, and a reminder that God’s goodness is always within reach. 

Let’s walk this beautiful journey together, one dish and one day at a time.

Cooking has always been a passion of mine, especially when it comes to using fresh ingredients. I enjoy adapting family recipes into healthier versions. I consider myself a "Neo-Soul" cook, which to me means cooking with a fusion of flavors and cuisines from the heart. My favorites include Thai, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican, and traditional Soul Food dishes. Coming from a family of exceptional cooks, I owe my culinary skills to my grandmother, mother, aunts, and uncles, who perfected their love for cooking and passed it down to me. Their dedication has taught me the true joy of preparing meals that nourish both the soul and the stomach.

Now retired, I spent over 38 years in the construction business as an architectural detailer, securing Doors, Frames, and Hardware for various buildings in Florida, San Diego, and the Washington, D.C./Maryland area.

With love and grace,
Carol
