Please never take down the series. We need to let her live on.
you make me moister than an oyster
She taught me a lot
I love watching her
I doubt he ever will take then down. Clara gets millions of views between all of her videos. Some of her videos get 4 million views each. We need Clara 🙏❤️
Super low fat version of the recipe too. Lovely, simple and elegant
This was Clara's last video before she passed on November 29th 2013. Thank you Clara! Rest in peace.
This was actually recorded in 2009, but her 98th bday vid was her last vid before she died
how did she go?
Hannah M what a kind comment to leave on some sweet old woman's TH-cam...
Kala Kupu this was the last video posted. This was certainly not the last video. There's one where her grandson says it's the last video of Clara. Xo
Kala Kupu she seemed to be of sound mind and physically capable until the very end. She's such a remarkable woman.
“If you’ve got good teeth it will be okay” 😂😂 there is something just so wonderful and lovable about her and people born during that time. They had a different way of seeing things. Just to hear them tell their stories ...it’s like coming home
Now we're pretty much in the same boat not as bad but atleast not as many homeless back then. Government and big banks made the depression they are doing it again.
I have no teeth at all anymore and my dentures don't work because my mouth is too small. I'm certain everyone would be surprised at just how much one can eat without teeth.
Amen. I loved hearing their stories and laughter.
I know! I loved that phrase too. It just cracked me up.
I love how she says when she's browning something, it's "Rosy", so cute
My favorite too!!
I was thinking the same thing. She uses the word 'rosy' in a few videos. Delightful!
❤❤❤
My favorite too!
I love how in literally every video she's like "It's healthy. It's good for you". It's so precious!
Jay P my grandmas 68 and she says that haha. makes me smile ever time. she says it about chocolate and pop, man i love her.
skidrowsux1977 but butter and salt isn't
different fats and salts are good for you
Jay P your body needs both! smh. you act like she topped it with cheese n bacon dang
To skid row: Just ask actor Billy Bob Thornton if potatoes "are good for you". Sure, they're good to an extent, but eat them all the time and you can develop health issues like Billy Bob did from eating nothing but potatoes all the time. Apparently her and her family were lucky since they are them a lot, too.
It's only now that I discovered this channel and saddened to hear she passed on since 2013. I would love to try these out.
ryoga316 ;((
ryoga316 I discovered it today. I love it. It sadden me too to learn of her passing away.
I have been watching these videos of Mrs. Clara for the past several weeks & it saddened me she had passed away several years ago. She reminds me of my grandma who is in poor health.
I've made this recipe with my kids. It is good
ryoga316 - Buy her cookbook if you haven't already, it's a fascinating read!
This lady is so sweet. I had a terrible day and 2 min watching her made me forget the shit day and just want to be pleasant. Bless your soul Clara. Such a sweet lady!!
Agreed.
She reminds me of my nonna she lived till 100 years old and cooked all these ways . I miss her so much….
She always makes me feel better. And then by the 5th video I’m crying cuz she was just so precious
Shame you couldn't use another word to describe you day since this channel & Clara are so wholesome & beautiful.
“It was too dangerous so he went to Chicago...”
Times certainly have changed 🤣
W W oh yes 💀
No kidding.. I live near Chicago & am currently looking for a way out 😂😂 Na.. But in all honestly.. Yes, yes times have changed. Stay safe everybody! 👊✌
I live in Chicago. It’s not as bad as the news and media like to portray it to be #ProudChicagoan
@@LilMiszNikki808 Rep your city! That's what's up. I'm glad to hear your safe out here! Take care! 👊✌
Nicole Martinez I visited my friend and the bouncers at a nice night club and they stole my phone and purse. I was also only 27 and and after the threw me out they insulted me while I was crying and said shut up that’s why you look like you’re 40.
I have a Great Depression cooking project for school and I have to feed my father, my sister, my mom and myself for under $4.50. Your videos helped a lot! R.I.P. Clara ❤️
I think it is for one meal, which makes sense. Because I am sure they spent around the same per meal back then during the depression. of course it would be more like a quarter or less due to inflation.
Luke Posadas - $4.50 for one meal for 4 people, so about $1.11 per person. Should be entirely possible today, serving e.g. Pasta w/peas, rice w/lentils, chili sin carne or things like that, foods they used to turn to when they had little way back when and also I'm sure many turn to these foods today many places... ☺️
Ru B - How did you do with your school project, do you remember, Ru? ☺️
That’s easy $4.50 = 18 packs of ramen noodles.
@@xringkiller damn ur ramen is expensive my heb has those packs of like 8 or 10 for a buck
People were made of different stuff back then. Women like her paved the way for our current comforts.
Scott Campbell I have a friend, 101 yrs of age..she's so beautiful. First black teacher & home owner in these parts, started the integration of schools here, grandmother and almost founder of layton city, Ruby Jewell Timms Price on FB writing her book of life this year. She's probably the most remarkable longest living soul I've ever had the pleasure and good fortune to meet!! We found her at Layton City library. You'd never know she was nearly 102 to look at her. She's for real. Look her up and Tell her Jodie sent you.
God Bless. P.s. encourage her with me to make a couple live videos will you? Thank you. 😍
Very true. Doing more with less builds wealth.
Daughter of immigrants
JJ Cevering I looked her up and came to sad news that she passed away also Rip
Can we talk about how good her memory is! Not bad for ninetie-year-old women.
Letting the potatoes get a little "rosy" on top is the cutest thing I've ever heard
Omg... I just realized Clara died yesterday?
RIP Clara...
Aug.18, 1915 - Nov.29,2013
IulovemeI I meant 1950 :S
Coouge you mean 1915
chaoticdopey there... after a year, I've changed it now! :)
May you rest in peace beautiful.
At 98 yrs old. What an amazing woman..💞
When Clara said, "Mmmmm, nothing like a good baked potato." She reminded me of my mom, and I got a little teary eyed. My mom lived through the depression, and she loved potatoes too. You were a treasure Clara.
were? past tense? you mean *are*
@@alexandersepa3037 No, they mean were. Clara passed away in 2013
The simplicity of it all almost brings a tear to my eyes. No dieting/keto/gluten free/vegan and other complicated terms, or counting calories, just pure simple cooking. And when people were lucky enough to grow their own vegetables I bet they tasted even better. I find most recipe books have complicated meal options. Will definitely try some of Clara's recipes.
We had a big garden when I was a kid. As soon as each vegetable would mature we’d start eating.One of the first was the leaf lettuce and radishes. A lettuce and mayo sandwich on a hot day is so good. Mom would make many different pickles and canned vegetables that would last all winter. Didn’t realize how lucky I was!
Amen...MOST receipes are way too complicated with too many ingredients.
You can grow vegetables LoL who or what is stopping you other than yourself?
Eternal Rest Grant Unto her, O Lord. May Perpetual Light Shine Upon her.
May her soul and All The Souls of The Faithfully Departed Through The Mercy, Of God. Rest In Peace. Amen. 🙏🕯️
Thank you for your wonderful recipes and Kindness. R. I. P.
God Bless your family. Thank you for sharing such a cherished soul. Peace.
💐🕊️
If this isn’t the most precious and wholesome content I have ever seen, idk what is.
I can only imagine what her eyes have seen!! From Model T's to Iphones. Absolutely amazing!! God bless you!!

My 3 year old asks me to play a "Clara video" every night before bed...I ask him why? His response "I love her!" Lol
I don't remember how we found this channel but we both really enjoy it!
What a precious comment!!! What a sweet mommy and child!!!
That doesn't even sound plausible. Nice try, though.
That's the cutest thing ever. I want my little girl to watch these. She's two and would love Clara
Its like hanging around the kitchen with Grandma. Shes precious.😍
This brought a tear to my eye. A whole generation that was kind has passed on. I remember them, no generation alive today is like them.
One things for certain. Clara’s mama never sent her family to bed w their tummies growling. Both her parents did the best they could with what they had.
What’s so amazing is the wedding photo of Clara’s mama and papa. Clara mother was SO VERY young when they married. Both still children themselves.
Yet she still found a way to keep her family full and healthy using whatever her young husband brought home in pay. Times have certainly changed! I wonder what Clara‘s mama would think if she knew in the year 2022 people were still eating her depression recipes?
Yes….Times have certainly changed…& will continue to do so forevermore
She's the reason her generation was the greatest. Miss you Clara. You are truly an angel. I agree, watching her to this day makes one smile.
Everyone go hug your Nana, and tell you that you love her, you might not be able to tomorrow.
sammarkey I agree!! Unfortunately both of mine passed on years ago. Grandma Sue died in September 2013 from surgery complications (they went in to fix a hernia, and had a hard time getting her bleeding to stop. She slipped into a coma and died about a day or two afterwards). She was my dad’s mom. Grandma Hallie passed just months later in April 2014 of cancer. She was my mom’s mom. Miss them both terribly, and would wish I could hug them again 😔
My grandmothers were never this sweet and helpful. Perhaps I take them for granted or perhaps they were not like this wonderful woman?
This is real shit, I was driving home from work 5 years ago and I got a call saying my nana didn't have much time left. She passed 1hr after I said my goodbyes
My grandma actually lived far away but she won’t die anytime soon. She’s not even 70.
sammarkey what if I don’t like my nana
Oh my, this is awesome. How to make a twice backed potato, and a story. Clara is 98 years old.
She's deceased as of late last year.
@@404killer lmao
Thank you...TH-cam, for making Miss Clara immortal...so needed in our lost times!!
Absolutely LOVE these videos. Shortly after getting married both my wife and I lost our jobs, 2008 downturn. Broke out my grandmother's cookbook and we lived on many is these same recipes. Saved our sanity as well as our lives.
It's now March 2020 and we may need to do the same again :(
@@lelechim it's now November 2022 and the need to do that is closer than ever.
My mom used to make this, but she would add shredded cheddar cheese, then mix it up, then pipette it back in. Delicious. I haven't had this for 40 years. I think I will this weekend. God bless Miss Clara. Thanks for sharing her memories with us.
Adding cheddar sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely have to give it a try. C:
I make twice baked potatoes at my store. We use potatoes, cheese, heavy cream, butter, bacon, sour cream, salt and pepper. We grind it together so it is a very smooth consistency and put it back in the shell. You then bake it for about 25 minutes. They are delicious.
FrancescaDonnaMarie your comment!! I’ve got to make some tonight now 😂 perfect cause I haven’t done shopping and all I really have left is potatoes and cheese.
@@candicefield9567 that's how I make mine, minus the bacon
My mom still makes them!
Idk they had been around THAT long....we have them probably once a week.
I just found her page like 3 days ago, too bad shes gone....
What monster would thumb down her videos??? Love her! RIP Clara :(
7 DICKS DISLIKED
+UpDown Michelle Someone who desperately needs glasses and clicked dislike by accident?
Parad0xGamer can't see why any would not like this. it's good schooling to see how people made it back then.
Most likely its because the nutrients were lacking in those potatoes. I once only ate potatoes for like 4 years, the lack of nutrients caused most of my hair to fall out and my skin to loosen. Also in my village we typically eat our elderly before they die of old age, grandmas like this are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Ever tried newborn farms? Simply amazing. Makes you feel good, and tasted good too!
No cheese, chives, bacon, sour cream, extra seasoning, etc, just a pure tasty grandma thing to eat, thank you Gramma❤️ I wish I could eat that right now
Bad Misty they couldn’t afford all that extra stuff back in the Great Depression.
Delia Dee I know? That’s the point lol
I love the ladies and gentlmen from the depression. The greatest generation
You can have these any time you want!
@@deliadee4686 And, I add chopped broccoli too 💚
"I don't need a blender....If you got good teeth it'll be ok"😹😹 Oh Clara...It's been ( yrs and U still make me laugh
I love that she uses her old kitchenware for the videos. I imagine myself back in my grandmothers kitchen in the '70's and her cooking on an old Wedgewood stove with the same pots and pans she'd had since 1925. Happy memories!
God Bless you Clara.. for your kind and gentle spirit.. your talent in the kitchen ain't bad either.. I'm going to go cook me some Twice Baked..
Me at the start of watching these: 1 more before bed
Me at the 153rd video: guess I'm day sleeping
haha love it... same! ❤
Samesies! 🤣
I loved hearing the part where Clara shared with us how her mom spoke, it reminds me a lot of my hispanic
grandparents!
"The potatoes are rosy." I love that!
If you've got good teeth it will be okay - love her!!
I loved that too! ❤️
@iBiana Doubt no, she was referring to lumps. She only used a fork to mash them.
@@jgando111278 what the the fuck is wrong with you?
Dang it, now I want potatoes. These sound really good.
I love hearing her stories.
Rest in piece clara even in 2019 we still remember and love you!
We love her even more in 2020 quarantine.
2021 she's absolutely inspiring
We certainly WILL Remember with a heart full of love ….. isn’t she great 😊🥰😍. I hope you will keep us watching Clara love love to watch her cooking. Mmmmm 👍
It is 2023 and Clara still makes us feel better! I love Clara! ❤
I love how she describes the food browning as "Let it get a little rosy." I miss Nona Clara.
I just recently found this channel. You can tell this woman had a heart of gold. Would have loved to have met her. Rest in peace Clara.
She was the absolute cutest. I’m sad to have discovered her so long after her departure. I am so glad these videos were made. Real treasure. ❤️
Wow her father was so handsome!!! Love hearing Clara’s stories💝
yummy. she is so calming I could listen to her for
ever
This lady has become my nightly routine to watch before I fall asleep there’s something just so positive and hopeful about her
Her stories are as fascinating as her cooking.. a real time machine experience!
I just came across one of her videos yesterday and began watching them back to back. I didn't notice how many years ago they were made. Today, I saw the video where her grandson said she had passed away, in 2013. I didn't know her but I actually cried. I feel like I knew her. That may sound silly, but my heart is broken. I will continue to watch her videos. Please don't remove or stop posting them. ❤❤❤
love this woman.... I got so excited when I saw this was posted....Clara, I do believe you are loved by many people!
Clara seems like the best thing to hit the internet. Her joy and humor is always present. So good to hear her stories.
Gosh! I used to make those 40 years ago! I had no idea that the how-to was older than that! 😁
Thank you for sharing Nana Clara with us.💜
Its so nice to come across a perfect person. their are so few left. she is my nana, my Nana passed 35 years ago. Clara, is the same kinda person as her. Perfect in every way not a bad word in her. i cant stop watching her videos
The "Clara in memoriam" video by her Grandson is sad but wonderful :")
blondago56...IKR..??? CanNOT believe Christopher was able to do that, saying she'd died earlier that morning...!! La forza in lui...!
I just found this lovely lady in August 2017. I thought she was in her 80s! I hadn't checked the date on the videos. Then she gave her age and I was amazed at her energy. It's wonderful that the videos live on in tribute to her memory. Her recipes remind me of some of the dishes I was fed as a child that included odd but very tasty ingredients. I just now realized my mother must've cooked those dishes during the Depression and was still cooking them in the 1950s when I was born. Ty to Clara's family for sharing your wonderful grandmother.
With the way things are going these videos might just save some lives.
I just love her! Especially enjoy her childhood memories. What a blessing she was!
Rest In Peace Clara!! Hope you have a wonderful time in heaven!
At $1.00 a bag of potatoes, they had to keep the recipes simple but GOOD! God Love You Clara!
Ronda Goodbye
I love how she explains everything in these videos so simply and lovely.
I just found this channel. Such a shame she is no longer with us, what a beautiful soul💕 Rest in peace Clara~🙏🏼💕
She has a cookbook too! Just letting you know. 💜🌹
How can anyone thumbs down these videos she's absolutely adorable bless her
Who are the 45 demons who gave this a thumb down!?
Just as you said...they are demons!

I think we need a website where we can share recipes inspired by Clara. I just made a sweet potato soup that was inspired by Clara’s cooking. It was sooo good, incredibly easy, nutritious, of course! And I only started watching Clara last night. I watched about 10 episodes and read massive amounts of comments and like everyone said, you really feel good, and nostalgic too, after watching Clara. Thanks so much for making these vids, what a sweet lady!
Will you share your recipe ?
SWEET POTATO SOUP SOUNDS DELICIOUS IM LEARNING MORE ABOUT COOKING FROM CLARA AND IM A GREAT GRANDMOTHER.
LIKE HAVING MY GRAMS TEACH ME ITS VERY COMFORTING AND HEARTWARMING
I wish I would have known Clara, and found her channel earlier. What a remarkable lady. Rip Clara, you are so sweet. Thank you for sharing some of your memories. John
A fascinating slice of history with a charismatic host, I love it.
I am absolutely in love with Clara. I know she has passed but I subscribed anyway. She's such a joy to watch, thank you for sharing her with us ❤️❤️ May she rest in peace knowing that she has touched the lives of so many people.
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I absolutely love 💕 watching the videos and hearing your grandmothers stories!
I think it’s wonderful that you were so close and captured sooo many wonderful memories!!💕
She seemed like such a wonderful person, and just wanted to share her joy of food and life
Rest in peace Clara ❤️
Wow. This is only two weeks before she passed away. Clara reminds me of my great grandmother and is gold hearted. Thank you!
TH-cam just suggested this channel. I love the way she shares stories as she cooks! I see from comments she's no longer with us. God bless this family.
Hello Lori
How are you doing today?
You don’t know how grateful I am for you! You’re amazing! My husband is Italian from Chicago, his dad lived through the depression
My grandfather was Italian from Chicago. Maybe they all new each other 😁 my grand Aunt married someone from Philadelphia. I wish we could go to those old Chicago neighborhoods now
RIP, you beautiful soul.
So wonderful. It's like being in the kitchen with a grandma. My mom was a depression era cooker also and she passed in 1997. I miss her so. Rest in Peace Clara.
She made her food with Love.
🤗💌 God Bless You Clara 💖
My Grandma made these all the time when I was growing up. She mixed in grated cheese with the mashed potatoes and sprinkled some more on top before rebaking them. Yum!
Anybody 2019? And still miss her?
Best surprise to see another video of Miss Clara's. I enjoy her practical wisdom and stories. What a gem!
I don't think there is a video series that has made me as happy, as sad, and as grateful as this one. I am only disappointed I didn't find it earlier. Thank you Clara, and God bless.
It’s 2023 and I still come back to this video for reference. I love listening to the stories, very much like listening to my own grandmother ❤
I just discovered Miss Clara tonight, and I am in love. I'm several videos in now! Definitely going to try some of her recipes.
aww...I'm saddened now also..I just found this channel today. :-(
68LEELU me too..I just found Clara..in the last week or so..😕
Honestly. She’s a national treasure. I know she passed away but she’s like a grandma to me now. So heartwarming. Will always remember her.
I love how everything is all healthy and so simple.
Love these videos. I see in Clara my recently passed Grandmothers ( ages 95 and 100 ) so I do shed a tear. All of them had strength that goes beyond anything I can hope to achieve and an intrinsic kindness we would do well to emulate.
I havent had one of these in years. My uncle used to make them around thanksgiving. Seemed like alot of work he said. But Clara makes it simple.
Seems like a great family tradition!
I'm glad I came across these videos she was so sweet. I just watched the video that her grandson did for her after she passed he talks about how he got her to make the videos so glad he did. Rest in peace sweet lady.
I love the stories of her family and childhood
Exactly how my grandfather used to make them for me. God bless you, Clara, hope heaven really is better than here.
Rest In Peace you absolute legend. This appeared in my reccomended and I’m glad it did
My grandmother, who was born in 1936, has always made Twice baked potatoes and they are AMAZING. We have always loved them!!!!
Bless this beautiful Lady, she cooks like my grandparents and mother. This art of cooking is really missed. RIP Clara. Keep her videos going, we need this.
I just found Clara this year and I always watch her when I seek comfort. 💕
These videos remind me so much of my Great-Grandma Boyle and her kitchen. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Makes me teary-eyed. Thank you so much for your videos 💕💕 They’re so appreciated.
It’s 2023 and I still watch these videos ❤️ They always brighten up my days.
I want a dvd! I miss her so much!❤❤r.I.p you sweet sweet lady Clara.
It warms my heart to see this, my 98 year old great grandma just passed on two days ago, I am on my way home for the funeral. While I am saddened, 98 is a great age, so I can't complain.
Keep on going Clara!
I hadn't seen this one. Thank you a million times for sharing her with us.
Just discovered this beautiful woman today and I conts stop binging her videos. She reminds me exactly of my Grandma Gilda and her Sister Aunt Josie. They both grew up during the depression and and knew how to make the best of any situation thrown their way. My grandma has been dead now for about 6 years but her older sister Aunt Jo is now 100 years old and she was the cook in the family for sure. She could turn very inexpensive ingredients into a masterpiece just like Clara. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos they are not just recipes, they are a history of how special the Greatest Generation really was.
When I was a boy(I'll be 70 in a couple months) there wasn't a day that went by that my folks didn't talk about the depression.I'm extremely happy this lady's spirit can live on through video.I would like to thank whoever made these videos,Clara was wonderful!I almost get teary eyed when I watch,thank you again!!!
Thank you so much Clara, for sharing your life with us, the stories and the memories. You were a truly gentle soul, in a sometimes eye opening and harsh world. Listening to your stories, of another time and place, should be amplified to those who believe life is tough now, to those who want to do harm to others, and those who take life for granted. Thank you Chris, for sharing your grandmother with the world. She will truly be missed and loved by the masses.
God bless you and your family, and this wonderful woman we all cherished.
You will be forever missed. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. We desperately needed your gift of love.
She dried the potatoes with a paper towel. Wouldnt a cloth towel been cheaper? Also, I poke holes in my potatoes with a fork, before baking. I had one explode once. What a mess all over oven. If times are really tight, you dont need to butter the potatoes before baking. Skins will get tougher. Thats all. I do enjoy Clara's videos. I dont mean to be critical. Just some extra helpful hints.
She reminds me of my grandma so much. I can’t explain to you. Her hands and everything. It makes me cry to watch her. RIP BEE LYNN RIP CLARA
This has brought a world of viewing pleasure to me- she’s precious!
