Ah..I disagree my dear Clara ... I need that timer ⏲... for memory -my brain for other things like what to make for supper or beating my sweety at Scrabble ! 😆🥰🍃🌺🍃 4/7/19
This lady was a little treasure. I loved her vids, history, and her step by step simple and healthy cooking on a depression era budget. Great Job Clara!!:)
I sincerely hope that Clara's grandson never decides to take these wonderful videos down. I discovered them years ago, when Clara was still making them. Now that she's no longer with us, I still come back & watch them from time to time when I need a wholesome "fix". My mom grew up during the Great Depression, & Clara's stories remind me of all the things my mom & Grandma told me about life during that time. I'm so sad that Clara is gone, but I'm so grateful that her grandson had the wherewithal to record her memories to share with all of us. Clara is a tremendous gift to everyone who sees these videos. May God bless the entire Cannucciari family, & may dear Clara be resting peacefully with her beloved husband in Heaven. 🙏💓🙏
These videos encouraged me to record my Dad making his favourite dishes before he passed away. I am so lucky to have had my Dad as my Dad. Rest peacefully Daddy. Rest peacefully Clara.
Panda Fitness This was posted in 2011, I’m presuming she has - happy to be proved wrong, although I’d really hate the thought of Clara stuck indoors during this COVID right now, I think she’s been through quite enough in her life. x
Clara has me bawling again... esp now when she said at the end, "I love you all. Goodbye". 😪 I love you Clara. Thank you for being so wonderful... thank you for everything.... & thanks to your grandson Christopher & the whole family. God bless you all. THANK YOU LORD FOR CLARA. YOU MADE HER VERY SPECIAL FOR HER FAMILY, & FOR ALL OF US.... AND FOR YOURSELF. ❤
Oh goodness, I literally had tears start welling up instantly when she said that, an urge to give her a hug! Tearing and crying, started looking through comments and saw yours first. So wholesome, and her with her grandkids is so wholesome because they both delight in each other’s innocence, it’s so wonderful.
I didn’t discover Clara’s channel until 2019. Sitting at home now ‘socially distancing’, her warmth and humor are like having my own dear nana back with me. Rest In Peace, Clara. Your channel is still bringing joy to so many people. ❤️
I smiled as well...and teared up. I do not know how or why but I have just found these Clara videos and have spent two days watching them. I watch with fondness thinking of my grandmother and how I should have been hanging out in the kitchen with her as much as I was outside with grandpa. This generation still has so much to teach us. Thank you Clara
It is 2023. I discovered Clara a few months ago and have been watching her videos frequently since. She had the gift of making people feel good and relaxed. I have found myself making espresso and her sugar cookies often... watching her videos while enjoying them! What a treasure she was and much thank's to her lovely grandson to convincing her to do the videos! Thank you Christopher for bringing the gift of your precious nana to us! We all love her and adore her and she keeps on giving and living! God bless your family and may Clara rest in heaven looking down at how truly she is loved and missed by so many! ❤😊🙏🙏🙏
“God put me here for a reason, I don’t know what it is but..he probably does” For this very reason. You made thousands upon thousands of viewers happy with your videos, Clara! God bless you! RIP
Wisdom comes with age, and from many sacrifices along the way. So many young people today do not have a clue what they are missing, by not spending time with a grandparent.
Or an elderly neighbor, they have so much to offer. I believe so much of the unrest today is from not truly having, and cherishing older people, their, and wisdom. “” Respect your elders””!
God knew that everyone needs an Italian grandmother, so He gave us Nana Clara. She will live on in our hearts forever... Thank you Christopher for sharing your special grandmother and her recipes with the world! 💜
Clara reminds us all to cherish the elderly in our lives and to learn every single thing that we can from them. They're a gift that doesn't last long enough.
My Grandma used to say that all the time, too. She worked in a secret shelter for domestic violence victims until she was Clara’s age as basically the resident Grandma. She mentored the women, and loved on the children, while she moved around the kitchen with a slow but constant and purposeful rhythm. Everyone has a purpose.
@@katemyer1955 wow I know for sure that the woman she was around have an ever lasting impression of her in there lives some way some how I love to hear things this the world needs grandmas😍🥰
I was once told "God takes the flowers and leaves the weeds." Except once in a great while He lets the best flowers stay a little longer. Grazie Clara!
@Old timer hot shot Didn't you know? Everything everyone ever did in the past was wrong and everything SJWs do is right. Except SJWs don't actually *do* anything except pontificate.
We now know at least one of the reasons. To help us and be here for us all, even from beyond. She's in heaven where she belongs, but she can still teach us.
I’m having a hard time financially and I happened onto Clara’s Depression Cooking. It has given me recipes and ideas to stretch my money more. God Bless Y’all!! Love you
"God put me here for a reason, I don't know what that is" Oh Clara, it's most likely to teach us 1st world, product obsessed, spoiled generation, that we really don't have it nearly as bad as it could be! You were here to teach us how to be thankful, even for simple but delicious meals! 💛 From Colorado
She reminds me of how my grandma raised her children during the depression. I've been cooking from all the memories that my grandma gave me. A lot of Mexican basic cooking! Colorado here too!!!
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Shut the hell up. She's passed away, she was a wonderful woman, and all you can think to do is point fingers at her faith in a higher power. Go grow up. You really have some searching to do.
This made me tear up and I don’t even know her. Especially when she said, “this is a perfect ending to a perfect show. I love you all, goodbye.” **gives us a kiss** and talked about how she hates getting old. But she was still happy and full of energy. You don’t see a lot of that in a old person. Love you Clara and I hope you enjoy your stay in heaven. Your recipes taught us a lot about how you lived and how to cook!! You were full of energy and seemed happy about your life. You were basically a star, so bright and warm. We all loved your stories about how you used to live and how everything was back then. You never made those stories boring, as we would sit and listen to every bit of it. I really wished you were my grandma. If we could pick a third grandma, it’ll be you. You seem like a lovely lady and I hope you teach the angels some of those recipes. We love and miss you, bye Clara!😊🖐🏼❤️
Just came across this site and I have enjoyed listening to your mom tremendously. Mom mom is currently 103. Love listening to their stories. Just wanted to let you know how much this site is appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your mom and her wealth of information, recipes and all. God bless you and thanks again!
I just found Clara a few days ago and instantly fell in love... But as I'm binge watching her videos, and I came across your heartwarming comment 🙌💞 and I'm seeing that she has passed away? 😟my Nana lived to 103... They don't make em like they used to, that's for damn sure 💪💓 Wonderful comment by the way 👋🥺
Funny how some people can make you feel like you miss them and don't even know them. Your video poped up on my feed and I watched the "Poorman Meal" video. I saw a few more then saw the one of your passing. It made me sad. The fact that God blessed you with almost a century of living is amazing. I bet you had some of the best stories for your children and grandchildren. I have to agree with the comment before me - feeling like you're late to the party. God bless you Clara, even though you're no longer with us I've subscribed to your channel and I think in the past hour I've watched almost all of your videos. You make me feel like I'm at home cooking with my grandma. Thank you Clara.
i happened upon miss clara's videos a few years ago... my favorite is the poor man's feast, which is what' i'm making for dinner tonight! :) i think it's wonderful how her family decided to video her cooking and share them with us all! ;)
Yesssss I can totally relate the first video I watched was a "Poorman Meal" I was hooked! I fell in love with Clara she reminds me so much of my Grandmother 😢😭😪✌😘
I’ve watched this video and tried to make tomato sauce like this over and over. It gets better every time - but I’m not convinced Ms Clara would recognize it as her own recipe just yet. However, it’s late summer and there are loads and loads of fresh, local tomatoes at the farmer’s market- so it’s time to try again and see if I can make her proud :-) It’s a lot of work, but somehow I feel like I owe it to her to get it right!
"Before electricity my brother and me would do our homework by a lantern at the kitchen table. And my father would be sitting in a corner listening to us kids. It was kind of cozy." Thank you Clara for all these heartwarming vignettes. It's a little less lonely when I watch your videos and blessings to your grandson for learning your lessons of what is truly important; good family, good food
Psuffix U don’t get my comment, do you? In all her other videos she’d say the same about every dish, meaning that it didn’t matter the dish she had, every day was the best to her because she cherished every meal
“Idk what I’m here for but I’m sure god does.” You were put here for this that’s for damn sure. We may need these skills soon. And it never hurts to know how to do these things. Even 8 years later...
What a tender soul dear Clara ❤️ my grandmother lived through the depression and told me stories of how bad it was she had a garden all her life she. Lived to be 99 i miss my grandmother so much. 😢
This is difficult to watch as I have just found you and I find this is your final show and you have passed away. Thank you for your kind words, great receipts, gentle manner, life lessons, wry humor, great stories, and your uplifting presents. Thanks to for your grandson with his camera skills and ideas.
It made me cry to watch this, I don't even know this woman but you can tell what a beauitful soul she was. I hope your family enjoys re watching and remaking these wonderful meals, I wish I had videos of my grandmother cooking our meals when I was younger, it would be almost like them always being there with you in the kitchen. As a single person living on my own for the first time, I plan on making some of these meals to help my budget :)
I couldn't agree more with your sentiment. I've watched these over and over for years. I did not know this wonderful woman but I feel as if I do. And I'm a better person for it. Try the Pasta with Peas: it's delicious (and dirt cheap)!
Ive only just descovered bayleaves O.o ... makes stabbing a roast lamb with garlic so much better (noticed nana uses them in her sauce) As a batcheler an aussie method for bread making is using day after flat beer instead of water instead of packet yeast. Nana Clairs cookign is fantastic, never deny the humility of the humble potato nor tomato :D
As a nursing student that is broke in college, her recipes have helped me financially through school. Thank you Clara ❤️ I will continue making these meals because it’s cheap and it’a better than fast food.
For some reason this comment made me feel so emotional ❤ Clara reminds me of my grandmother a lot, and she'd had been elated. She loved these little practical details that sometimes make all the difference.
Clara doesn't measure her ingredients: "By my ear, my nose, my throat." Darn it! Why didn't this beautiful woman Clara make at least a hundred more of these videos??
@@FormigaFit A while ago I was watching one of her videos. The beginning started as usual but with an empty chair. It hit me that she had passed. My grandparents are long gone but taught me some life experiences. We can learn so much from our elders if we just listen. Blessings.🤗
I’m so glad I found this channel. My mother passed a few months ago I was so depressed and sad 😪 watching Clara has really uplifted my spirits ❤️-It’s so much more than just a sweet little old lady cooking in a kitchen. ❤️
Amanda Rose Lauren mine too, in March 2019. Clara reminds me of my mom. Their haircut, glasses, slowness and thoughtfulness goes into their movements ❤️❤️
It's Dec 2022 and I just discovered Clara. Been watching every single video in a row because she is so lovable, kind spirited, interesting and a great teacher. I enjoy her stories and like so many others say, she reminds me of my favorite person in the world, my Grandma. It's a cross of joy, comfort but also tears because of missing her so much. Has anyone else noticed the women who grew up in the Depression, are strong but kind and smile/laugh so easily? We need to be more like them. Thank you for sharing your amazing Grandma. RIP Clara And GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Never take people from older generations for granted. They can teach you so much more than you could ever imagine. They have lived through things that most people couldn't even dream about. Try to soak up every last bit of knowledge from them, because sadly, they will not be with us forever. I am so thankful that Clara shared some of her life with us before she passed.
My parents grew up during the depression and when talking about it they acknowledged times were hard, but they focused on the good, not the bad. There will always be difficulty to complain about, but if you look, there's also things to be grateful for as well.
The hardest life isn’t being poor it’s being poor and have bad parents or having no parents at all. Times were as hard for me as a child i’m 41 as if it was the Great Depression. Gas and lights were turned off many times, very little food, my dad beat my mom everyday, she finally left when I was 10 and my sister was 14. My mom became a drug addict and lived in and out of mental wards for 20 years. My sister got pregnant at 15 and did her own thing. And I bounced around house to house with family that didn’t give a shit whether I ate, went to school or had underwear or a bra. In between my mom would get sober for a few months and come get me. We lived here there and everywhere and than I started battling an illness. I’m 41 now and still battling it but try and remain grateful for what I have now. I’m just trying my best to make sure my daughter has the best life possible. A good education is important to me for her but also that she is resourceful and crafty like Clara and me. I know a lot of her dishes cause I learned to cook at 11 cause I was all I had most the time. I lived on a lot of sandwiches and tortillas wasn’t much veggies or fruit and usually only at once a day. 🙏🏼
Recently, they discovered that the oleic acid in olive oil (also in avocados and nuts) increases your lifespan and works just like resveratrol. Before, they weren't sure if Mediterranean diet was so healthy in spite of olive oil or if olive oil too played a role.
WOW. My parents went through the depression. Our meals growing up were feasts . We didn't have a lot but we never went hungry. Thank you for sharing your time and energy to do all these videos. You have done something so wonderful. You have shared your knowledge with the world. Thank you
She said that she didn't know why she was still alive at this point. I know, she was still there to pass on heritage from the depression era. And teach us about healthy cheap foods. RIP Clara.
When she said her mom used to feed all the old ladies it just warmed my heart. At time like now i wish everyone was more like Clara's mom and looked out for our older generation but instead everyone just cares about themselves and wants to hoard everything. Mean while our old are going without because of them. 😔
Our society in US especially, worships the young and wealthy. We should all volunteer at nursing homes or senior facilities and raise these amazing ppl up. It doesn't take anything except a few hours a week to celebrate our older generations 💙
"God put me here for a reason" - oh Clara, he absolutely did. (crying) Bless you and thank you to your family for these incredible videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭
Tears.We love Clara! Rest in Peace. Christopher, you are a gem to have done this. Clara must have been moved by your devotion. The whole thing is just so moving.
@@carfusz idk if they're the same but they're definitely very pricey. I'm not a good cook but I'm trying to make things myself, it saves up lots of money.
@@d.r.656 Some people make 200- 500 dollars an hour these meals can take a long time to cook and I can see why some would prefer to spend the money to pay for the meal
I have been watching Clara for many years now...re-watching videos over and over...they make me smile...they ease my soul when I am having a bad day...they remind me of my own grandma whom I miss dearly...they make me laugh...her stories are wonderful...the food is as she says "it is good for you"...so at 4:50 when she says "I always say God put me here for a reason but I dont know what it is" well I along with thousands of your fans know the reasons...RIP Clara God has brought you home!
She reminds me of my mom. My mom made it to 93, her mother 102. I'm 63, and I don't have 1/10th of her energy. Bless you for sharing your nana with us.
When she said goodbye, my eyes welled-up! I just found her videos yesterday and couldn't stop watching! She is the grandmother I wish I had. So grateful you captured all of her wisdom! I made her biscotti today and just loved it!
I just wish everyone would be more like Clara's mom she used to feed all those old women. Meanwhile everyone now days are hoarding all the groceries and toilet paper and leaving our old without. 😔 makes me so sad.
brandy marston I won’t let it happen around me. I had baby wipes from a long time ago for my dog. Bought them in a huge box over 7 months ago. My dog is a bichon mix (white dog), so he gets grass and stains all over him. A mom posted on a local community page that she could not find baby wipes anywhere. I gave her four packs of the ones I had, which was all I had left. My dog can have stains, her baby needs wipes more than my dog does.
@@celes42017 thank you! Im the same way! Walmart brought out some toilet paper while i was there and i seen an old man trying to get to it through the hoard that was forming so I grabbed him one. It's not right to let them suffer because of others selfishness.
Yes I believe you hit the nail on the head. So much still to be learned from Clara even though she is now with God. Just found Clara this evening, but she taught this old gal so much. Thank you, dear Clara. Rest with God.
Now have the younger generation couple this with gardening at home for the ultimate cost-saving healthy cooking! While I'm not old, 38, I wish things could be at the same pace they were back in the 20s 30s etc. Things may not have been easier, especially during the depression, but the speed at which life was lived seems almost zen-like. I feel as though I'm from the wrong time and place.
Lady you are very missed. You didn't know why God put you here. This was it. You brought knowledge and love to the world. Your memory lives forever. God Bless.
“God put me here for a reason. Not sure what it is but I’m sure he does.” When she said this line I broke into tears 🥺 Clara was such a special person. She gave joy through her stories and took us back to simpler times with her manny Great Depression recipes. She may not be here any more but you can still feel the love that she had in her heart through these videos. 🥺🙌🏼
It's amazing how attached we can become to someone we never even met in this life. And, yet, when Clara says at the end, "I love you all. Goodbye," I can't help but tear up. She lived a very long life but I still wish we could've had her with us just a little bit longer. She never knew it. Clara taught me a lot in her videos and she also got me through some rough times in the past couple of years, too. What a sweet lady.
Thank you for sharing Clara with us. Even though I know she passed away a few years ago, it made me cry to hear her say this would be her last show. She was an absolute treasure.
I know, i cry every time i watch this precious lady. Her laugh is so young. She definitely has a sound mind at 95 years old! That’s amazing. Do you know how long she lived after this video? Heaven is truly blessed to have her.
Even though she lived a long life it makes me sad hearing she passed. My mom died last month and she was only 64. I keep thinking how unfair it is that other people get to be with their mom's on earth for 60+ years before they pass but here I am, 31 and motherless. Some people may think I'm old enough to accept it but no matter what age you are, it's never easy to lose your mother. Even if my mom lived to 100, it would have still been the hardest thing. She went on hospice and died 7 days later at home. I was with her everyday because I quit my job and moved across state to be close to here. Nobody expected her yo go so fast be we knew it was going to happen. The day I found out she went on hospice, I was out of town visiting friends. I rushed back home that night and went to her room where she was set up with a hospital bed and such to keep her comfortable and hugged her and started crying. She told me I knew this was coming. Even though I knew it, I wanted her to keep fighting. I didn't want to lose her. Nobody would want that. Nobody can prepare themselves for that. Even though I was with her everyday, I don't feel like I said enough. I don't feel like I hugged her enough. I don't feel like I said I love you enough. No matter what I actually did, it can never be enough knowing I can never hug her again or say I love you to her again. It hurts a lot.
I can't imagine losing my mom and I am 30 years old. She is 68 now and I wish I could have her for 100 more years. I am so sorry for your loss but I am certain your mom is with you every day, watching you and protecting you. Talk to her and you will be together again one day. Sending loving thoughts your way :)
My family does not want me. I have 35 grand and great Grand kids. Only two know me. They don't want a old lady. I have several that love me. God love them please.
I’m sorry to hear about your moms passing. I know it’s so hard. I lost a sister at 17. And I just moved over a thousand miles from my parents for my husbands job. I’m 32 and they’re in their late 60s. I get scared thinking about what I will do when one of them gets sick because I won’t be able to be there. I have my husband and my job to think about. Thanks for sharing your story. I know it probably wasn’t easy and I hope you’re doing better these days. I hope that every day that passes, it slowly get easier.
I believe this is my third time watching through Clara’s videos. And the thing that strikes me compared to today’s living and cooking is how she doesn’t have the latest fanciest cookware dishware stove or anything. She uses it until it’s wore out. That’s how they made it through the depression I only hope that people of this generation catch on to this idea to make it through this next great depression. Love Clara
“i’m not sure why God put me here but it’s for a reason” and then imagine the last TH-cam video she made in 2011 would revive her whole channel to a whole new legion of younger fans. WE LOVE CLARA😂😂😂
Out of all the videos I've watched (every single one, thus far), I haven't been able to watch this one until now.... 'Bye bye!' Breaks my heart. Years after you've passed, thank you for everything you've done Clara. You are an amazing woman. And thank you Christopher, for sharing your Nonna with us all. ❤
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Don't try to bring your twisted political bullshit propagandga here. Go back to your mothers basement and hug your computer. What a Loser you are.
288 to be great. Clara is what made America great through trials and tribulations. She is so much more than I am, my mother is, or even my children. My grandparents on the other hand. I remember my grandfather praying over the bible on Sunday mornings. That was our church. They too lived through the Depression. I honestly hope that we as a nation are never tested like that again. But then again, I hope that if we are, we become more like Clara. My God keep us all safe and in a state of sleep until he comes back!
You got that right. People touch our lives, and we've never met them in person. I wish my Granny and Clara could've met. They both were birds of a feather!
Thank you, Christopher for sharing your grandmother with us. I just love her. I have shed many tears watching her, because she reminds me of my grandmother. I love her stories and all the recipes she shared with us. I know she's with her beloved husband now, which I'm happy about, but I'm also sad that she's gone now. I will always be a fan of Clara
I find myself watching Clara not for her considerable cooking skills, but because she relaxes me, clears my mind, makes me slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. I wish that I could have met this utterly lovely lady in person.
Just because someone hits thumbs down doesn't mean they don't like her. They just didn't like the video. There's nothing wrong with someone not liking something.
❤️Clara. Im a woman in Queensland Australia, 2020 teaching my teenager Daughter to cook you’re food. I know I didn’t know you, be gee I do feel connected to you.
Clara made me tear up big time. What a sweet, kind, loving lady. Maybe that was her purpose for living such a long life, teaching others how to make do with little. It's valuable information and lets pray and hope we never need it to the same degree they did. It would be a rude awakening for the majority. On the other hand, it's a great way to save money if you're willing to put forth the effort. Rest in peace Clara and God bless your beautiful soul.
+Tonithenightowl Same for me! It's not often you see something so genuine, educational and simply fun on TH-cam. No cynicism, no pretenses and ALMOST no nasty comments below. Grazie mille, Clara, e riposare in pace!
+diane9247 Absolutely !!! You can tell she didn't have a mean bone in her body even when she did get a tad feisty with someone in her stories lol. They don't make em like that anymore. There was no bitterness in her. We can all learn from that alone. :o)

Chumlee ThePrankCaller I was thinking the same thing. For us to get comfort that everything is gonna be okay. ❤️
I sincerely hope that Clara's grandson never decides to take these wonderful videos down. I discovered them years ago, when Clara was still making them. Now that she's no longer with us, I still come back & watch them from time to time when I need a wholesome "fix". My mom grew up during the Great Depression, & Clara's stories remind me of all the things my mom & Grandma told me about life during that time. I'm so sad that Clara is gone, but I'm so grateful that her grandson had the wherewithal to record her memories to share with all of us. Clara is a tremendous gift to everyone who sees these videos. May God bless the entire Cannucciari family, & may dear Clara be resting peacefully with her beloved husband in Heaven. 🙏💓🙏
I'm back watching again. I watched her a few years back and glad I came upon her again.
These videos encouraged me to record my Dad making his favourite dishes before he passed away. I am so lucky to have had my Dad as my Dad. Rest peacefully Daddy. Rest peacefully Clara.

Oh goodness, I literally had tears start welling up instantly when she said that, an urge to give her a hug! Tearing and crying, started looking through comments and saw yours first. So wholesome, and her with her grandkids is so wholesome because they both delight in each other’s innocence, it’s so wonderful.
I watch her when I miss my grama. She's so warm.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen 🙏 ⭐️
Man i have just watched about 10 of her videos back to back she is like my old nana even her hands were the same lmfao
I didn’t discover Clara’s channel until 2019. Sitting at home now ‘socially distancing’, her warmth and humor are like having my own dear nana back with me. Rest In Peace, Clara. Your channel is still bringing joy to so many people. ❤️
So glad you discovered this 😊
Same! I love her
Same boat
You are right Tracy, how true.
♥️
It wasn't the recipes we came for, it was for Clara. May she be cooking happily in heaven.
Yea. Shes so lovable ...
If she does, the angles shall be well fed! 😄
Yes, she was fabulous.
God: "Smells great, Clara!"
Clara: "Well, thank you!"
God: "May I have a taste?"
Clara: "Did I call everyone to the table?"
God: "No."
Clara: "No."
You are absolutely correct!
At the end when she said “I love you all” it made me smile
Me to! Sweet lady!
Me too. 😍
I smiled as well...and teared up. I do not know how or why but I have just found these Clara videos and have spent two days watching them. I watch with fondness thinking of my grandmother and how I should have been hanging out in the kitchen with her as much as I was outside with grandpa. This generation still has so much to teach us. Thank you Clara
We love you too, Nana Clara!
Made me cry.
It is 2023. I discovered Clara a few months ago and have been watching her videos frequently since. She had the gift of making people feel good and relaxed. I have found myself making espresso and her sugar cookies often... watching her videos while enjoying them!
What a treasure she was and much thank's to her lovely grandson to convincing her to do the videos! Thank you Christopher for bringing the gift of your precious nana to us! We all love her and adore her and she keeps on giving and living!
God bless your family and may Clara rest in heaven looking down at how truly she is loved and missed by so many! ❤😊🙏🙏🙏
“God put me here for a reason, I don’t know what it is but..he probably does”
For this very reason. You made thousands upon thousands of viewers happy with your videos, Clara! God bless you! RIP
I wish there was a love emoji for your comment. Clara was a beautiful soul.
Yeah,wasn’t she a blithering idiot?
God?
Same one that allows children to get Raped or starve to death?
Yeah!
God!
This! 💖💖💖

How can she be blessed when she's gone....you can't bless a memory of someone no longer alive.

😔
Can anyone else watch this without crying? Ugh my heart strings..
Same!
I cry too
Nope 🤣
As I sit here bawling!
I totally cried!!
As a professional chef i have to admit I've learned the most from people that are getting pretty old. Respect your elders :)
Truth
So true. May she R.i.p 💛🧡💚
She said “You don’t need a timer, if your using your brain.” Only the old ones speak like this. 😌
Wisdom comes with age, and from many sacrifices along the way. So many young people today do not have a clue what they are missing, by not spending time with a grandparent.
Or an elderly neighbor, they have so much to offer. I believe so much of the unrest today is from not truly having, and cherishing older people, their, and wisdom. “” Respect your elders””!
Her "last show," yet she lived 2 more years after this one and shared more videos. So glad she did. RIP!
Really?!
Some folks get it on their mind its their time but their bodies are just too strong! For a while that is
Oh, she died?
God knew that everyone needs an Italian grandmother, so He gave us Nana Clara. She will live on in our hearts forever... Thank you Christopher for sharing your special grandmother and her recipes with the world! 💜
For sure, she was such a delight! We are blessed to have access to her videos. Thank you sooo very much!
Clara reminds us all to cherish the elderly in our lives and to learn every single thing that we can from them.
They're a gift that doesn't last long enough.
Clara: "Nothing great about getting old..." "but God put you here for a reason ". And thats to teach us. Love her honesty
I know.. I love her!!
My Grandma used to say that all the time, too. She worked in a secret shelter for domestic violence victims until she was Clara’s age as basically the resident Grandma. She mentored the women, and loved on the children, while she moved around the kitchen with a slow but constant and purposeful rhythm. Everyone has a purpose.
@@katemyer1955 wow I know for sure that the woman she was around have an ever lasting impression of her in there lives some way some how I love to hear things this the world needs grandmas😍🥰
"You know how tomato paste looks. It's paste....and it's red". OMG Clara you crack me up x
I wish I could just hug her an share a good conversation an meal with her. Rest easy sweetheart....
Eccentric Detectorist's When did she pass!!! :(
Allyson Messina November of 2013
Eccentric Detectorist's omg i see u everywhere especially on sas asmr's channel
I am sad now.
Oh no. Did not know she passed.
I was once told "God takes the flowers and leaves the weeds."
Except once in a great while He lets the best flowers stay a little longer. Grazie Clara!

I just love this woman
me toooooo!!!!!
@Old timer hot shot Didn't you know? Everything everyone ever did in the past was wrong and everything SJWs do is right. Except SJWs don't actually *do* anything except pontificate.
We now know at least one of the reasons. To help us and be here for us all, even from beyond. She's in heaven where she belongs, but she can still teach us.
Seems she was making sure we can eat in the years ahead.
God bless her.
Shes the head chef in heaven now
I’m having a hard time financially and I happened onto Clara’s Depression Cooking. It has given me recipes and ideas to stretch my money more. God Bless Y’all!! Love you
Julie Krause bless your keep your head up
Julie Krause what you’re going through now will probably be used as inspiration to others one day, just like Clara.
I’ll help you Julie
@@jayhensley8095 can you help me Jay.
Yes God put her here for a reason.
"God put me here for a reason, I don't know what that is"
Oh Clara, it's most likely to teach us 1st world, product obsessed, spoiled generation, that we really don't have it nearly as bad as it could be! You were here to teach us how to be thankful, even for simple but delicious meals! 💛 From Colorado
Couldn't agree more.
She reminds me of how my grandma raised her children during the depression. I've been cooking from all the memories that my grandma gave me. A lot of Mexican basic cooking! Colorado here too!!!
8 years later and I binge watch the whole show and cried that it’s over 😭❤️ thank you for such a beautiful show
This is REAL COOKING ♡ BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. ♡
I cried too
Good to know I’m not the only one crying 😭
Me to ! I can’t believe I just found her in 2019. She’s the real gem of TH-cam.
Clara 🌷
Sometimes I watch her just to watch even though I’ve seen these videos dozens of times. ❤️
me too:)
@@leannepedersen1118 me too... ❤️That's why I'm here again, lol. Happy Christmas 🍀
Same. She is as comforting to me as Bob Ross or Mr. Rogers.
It's so calming. I just know we are all going to be ok.
Me too. :)
He sure did put u here for a reason!, look at all the JOY she has brought to so many people ...even strangers shes never met💜💜💜
And from beyond the grave.

Man people are so gullible, believing in supernatural shit.
Denise Girmer I totally agree was thinking the same thing , we know she’s an angel now eating good in Heaven
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Shut the hell up. She's passed away, she was a wonderful woman, and all you can think to do is point fingers at her faith in a higher power. Go grow up. You really have some searching to do.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 You are soooo refreshing!
I thought I was the only one with a functioning brain.
This made me tear up and I don’t even know her. Especially when she said, “this is a perfect ending to a perfect show. I love you all, goodbye.” **gives us a kiss** and talked about how she hates getting old. But she was still happy and full of energy. You don’t see a lot of that in a old person.
Love you Clara and I hope you enjoy your stay in heaven. Your recipes taught us a lot about how you lived and how to cook!! You were full of energy and seemed happy about your life. You were basically a star, so bright and warm. We all loved your stories about how you used to live and how everything was back then. You never made those stories boring, as we would sit and listen to every bit of it. I really wished you were my grandma. If we could pick a third grandma, it’ll be you. You seem like a lovely lady and I hope you teach the angels some of those recipes.
We love and miss you, bye Clara!😊🖐🏼❤️
When was this last episode taped , just found her 2 days ago , brings back precious memories of my beautiful home life, from 50’s and 60’s ❤️
@@pamellasmith2503
I don’t really know. They just found a bunch of old tapes and posted them on TH-cam without a date.
Just came across this site and I have enjoyed listening to your mom tremendously. Mom mom is currently 103. Love listening to their stories. Just wanted to let you know how much this site is appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your mom and her wealth of information, recipes and all. God bless you and thanks again!
She made me cry too, she just puts out such a good energy, such a sweet soul 😭😭😭
I just found Clara a few days ago and instantly fell in love... But as I'm binge watching her videos, and I came across your heartwarming comment 🙌💞 and I'm seeing that she has passed away? 😟my Nana lived to 103... They don't make em like they used to, that's for damn sure 💪💓 Wonderful comment by the way 👋🥺
Funny how some people can make you feel like you miss them and don't even know them. Your video poped up on my feed and I watched the "Poorman Meal" video. I saw a few more then saw the one of your passing. It made me sad. The fact that God blessed you with almost a century of living is amazing. I bet you had some of the best stories for your children and grandchildren. I have to agree with the comment before me - feeling like you're late to the party. God bless you Clara, even though you're no longer with us I've subscribed to your channel and I think in the past hour I've watched almost all of your videos. You make me feel like I'm at home cooking with my grandma. Thank you Clara.
i happened upon miss clara's videos a few years ago... my favorite is the poor man's feast, which is what' i'm making for dinner tonight! :) i think it's wonderful how her family decided to video her cooking and share them with us all! ;)
Amy Dee I agree with you.
East Coast Amy - True even in 2018. She said in this video that she didn't know what her purpose was, well here it is. Still going Clara ❤️
Yesssss I can totally relate the first video I watched was a "Poorman Meal" I was hooked! I fell in love with Clara she reminds me so much of my Grandmother 😢😭😪✌😘
East Coast Amy I feel the exact same way! Well said!
I love her and these videos probably more than ASMR to relax. Clara is all I need to fall asleep or just calm down. I wish she was still here.
Hi mom :O Fancy seeing you here!
I’ve watched this video and tried to make tomato sauce like this over and over. It gets better every time - but I’m not convinced Ms Clara would recognize it as her own recipe just yet. However, it’s late summer and there are loads and loads of fresh, local tomatoes at the farmer’s market- so it’s time to try again and see if I can make her proud :-) It’s a lot of work, but somehow I feel like I owe it to her to get it right!
Love this. What a great way to honor her too.
Have you been able to figure it out yet?
Keep trying we all got plenty of time now with this quarentine going on
She's floating around somewhere on the Other Side not giving a damn about tomatoes. She doesn't need to eat anymore. Do what you want.
@@blupyxi5669 did that make you feel better? Go somewhere else with your negativity it's not necessary
"Before electricity my brother and me would do our homework by a lantern at the kitchen table. And my father would be sitting in a corner listening to us kids. It was kind of cozy." Thank you Clara for all these heartwarming vignettes. It's a little less lonely when I watch your videos and blessings to your grandson for learning your lessons of what is truly important; good family, good food
When she says pasta day was her best day but all her other videos say the same. Everyday was her best day ♥️
Aw seemed that way huh...
She was saying that the days they had it with tomato sauce were the best days.
Psuffix
U don’t get my comment, do you?
In all her other videos she’d say the same about every dish, meaning that it didn’t matter the dish she had, every day was the best to her because she cherished every meal
Glass half full kind of person that’s for sure.
Of course it was the best day every time they eat during the Depression. If you ate then it definitely was the best day
1:52 "You know how tomato paste looks. Like paste. And it's red." LOVE her. I can only hope to live half the life you have. RIP.
“Idk what I’m here for but I’m sure god does.”
You were put here for this that’s for damn sure. We may need these skills soon. And it never hurts to know how to do these things. Even 8 years later...
AMEN !!!💜💚💜💚💜
What a tender soul dear Clara ❤️ my grandmother lived through the depression and told me stories of how bad it was she had a garden all her life she. Lived to be 99 i miss my grandmother so much. 😢
"Nothing great about growing old. You can't do what you want".
I sure miss her. Someday I'll meet her. Until then still watching beyond 2020!
This is difficult to watch as I have just found you and I find this is your final show and you have passed away. Thank you for your kind words, great receipts, gentle manner, life lessons, wry humor, great stories, and your uplifting presents. Thanks to for your grandson with his camera skills and ideas.
I bought her book off ebay and it was well worth it the stories continue in the book with loads of photos..got mine real cheap
thank you
I just found her today and it was the last! Hit me in the feels already
Me too. These videos are precious and so comforting.
+Joe b My exact experience. I have only just found her videos. Such a lovely woman. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
It made me cry to watch this, I don't even know this woman but you can tell what a beauitful soul she was. I hope your family enjoys re watching and remaking these wonderful meals, I wish I had videos of my grandmother cooking our meals when I was younger, it would be almost like them always being there with you in the kitchen. As a single person living on my own for the first time, I plan on making some of these meals to help my budget :)
Lucky Lex I cried too. Great comment.
I couldn't agree more with your sentiment. I've watched these over and over for years. I did not know this wonderful woman but I feel as if I do. And I'm a better person for it. Try the Pasta with Peas: it's delicious (and dirt cheap)!
YoreyC Really? Grow up!
YoreyC , unbelievable .
Ive only just descovered bayleaves O.o ... makes stabbing a roast lamb with garlic so much better (noticed nana uses them in her sauce) As a batcheler an aussie method for bread making is using day after flat beer instead of water instead of packet yeast. Nana Clairs cookign is fantastic, never deny the humility of the humble potato nor tomato :D
As a nursing student that is broke in college, her recipes have helped me financially through school. Thank you Clara ❤️
I will continue making these meals because it’s cheap and it’a better than fast food.
As someone who's on disability and food stamps, stuff like this helps me make it stretch further.
For some reason this comment made me feel so emotional ❤ Clara reminds me of my grandmother a lot, and she'd had been elated. She loved these little practical details that sometimes make all the difference.
Clara doesn't measure her ingredients: "By my ear, my nose, my throat." Darn it! Why didn't this beautiful woman Clara make at least a hundred more of these videos??
Sammy Slaughter 👏👏👏👏👏
5:55 i dont know why but this made me cry... 😭
I love you too granny clara... 😢
Because that was her goodbye episode and also she died.
@@FormigaFit A while ago I was watching one of her videos. The beginning started as usual but with an empty chair. It hit me that she had passed. My grandparents are long gone but taught me some life experiences. We can learn so much from our elders if we just listen. Blessings.🤗
I cried too
Bro I cried at 6:00 when she said "it's good!"
I cried too. I just started watching her this week but I fell in love with her. 😔
Okay that beautiful little boy ,,looking over at his Nana so fondly..loving her even more than his spaghetti..Brought me to tears!!!
None of us are Italian, but my grandfather loved to cook all sorts of different dishes. His spaghetti was the best I've ever had or ever will have.
Its 2023 and my heart is broken....Clara brings me joy...just in her voice. ❤
I’m so glad I found this channel. My mother passed a few months ago I was so depressed and sad 😪 watching Clara has really uplifted my spirits ❤️-It’s so much more than just a sweet little old lady cooking in a kitchen. ❤️
Amanda Rose Lauren mine too, in March 2019. Clara reminds me of my mom. Their haircut, glasses, slowness and thoughtfulness goes into their movements ❤️❤️
I wish you the best, and have a merry christmas!
Merry Christmas! I'm here missing my mama, too! Clara and my mama were contemporaries. Wishing for just one afternoon cooking with my mama.
Oh she is in a better place now❤️🙏🏻
Amanda. I am SO sorry for your loss. 😔
"I'm pretty damn old" lmao. You're a badass, Clara. RIP
I have never commented on a single video in my life but Clara, you are a special lady. Thank you for sharing. God bless X
Sorry to break it to you, but she sadly passed away...
It's Dec 2022 and I just discovered Clara. Been watching every single video in a row because she is so lovable, kind spirited, interesting and a great teacher. I enjoy her stories and like so many others say, she reminds me of my favorite person in the world, my Grandma. It's a cross of joy, comfort but also tears because of missing her so much. Has anyone else noticed the women who grew up in the Depression, are strong but kind and smile/laugh so easily?
We need to be more like them.
Thank you for sharing your amazing Grandma.
RIP Clara
And
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Never take people from older generations for granted. They can teach you so much more than you could ever imagine. They have lived through things that most people couldn't even dream about. Try to soak up every last bit of knowledge from them, because sadly, they will not be with us forever. I am so thankful that Clara shared some of her life with us before she passed.
I love Clara for having had such a tough life she didn't feel sorry for herself. People nowadays could learn a lot from her ❤ rip Clara
I so totally agree
Such a sweet heart
My parents grew up during the depression and when talking about it they acknowledged times were hard, but they focused on the good, not the bad. There will always be difficulty to complain about, but if you look, there's also things to be grateful for as well.
The hardest life isn’t being poor it’s being poor and have bad parents or having no parents at all. Times were as hard for me as a child i’m 41 as if it was the Great Depression. Gas and lights were turned off many times, very little food, my dad beat my mom everyday, she finally left when I was 10 and my sister was 14. My mom became a drug addict and lived in and out of mental wards for 20 years. My sister got pregnant at 15 and did her own thing. And I bounced around house to house with family that didn’t give a shit whether I ate, went to school or had underwear or a bra. In between my mom would get sober for a few months and come get me. We lived here there and everywhere and than I started battling an illness. I’m 41 now and still battling it but try and remain grateful for what I have now. I’m just trying my best to make sure my daughter has the best life possible. A good education is important to me for her but also that she is resourceful and crafty like Clara and me. I know a lot of her dishes cause I learned to cook at 11 cause I was all I had most the time. I lived on a lot of sandwiches and tortillas wasn’t much veggies or fruit and usually only at once a day. 🙏🏼
@@boundariessetinstone5893
Aww. Thanks for sharing.
She cooked with lots of olive oil--just proof that it's good for you.
TeacherTeacher it is! 2 tablespoons a DAY!!
Recently, they discovered that the oleic acid in olive oil (also in avocados and nuts) increases your lifespan and works just like resveratrol.
Before, they weren't sure if Mediterranean diet was so healthy in spite of olive oil or if olive oil too played a role.
My mom's lebanese teta lived to be 102! She said her secret was lots of olive oil and a piece of fruit with every meal.
WOW. My parents went through the depression. Our meals growing up were feasts . We didn't have a lot but we never went hungry.
Thank you for sharing your time and energy to do all these videos.
You have done something so wonderful. You have shared your knowledge with the world.
Thank you
❤️
"You know what tomato paste looks like. It looks like paste and its red. " Bahahaa i laughed so hard at that!
Ashley Hart I love her sarcasm
me too she’s an angel
She said that she didn't know why she was still alive at this point. I know, she was still there to pass on heritage from the depression era. And teach us about healthy cheap foods. RIP Clara.
When she said her mom used to feed all the old ladies it just warmed my heart. At time like now i wish everyone was more like Clara's mom and looked out for our older generation but instead everyone just cares about themselves and wants to hoard everything. Mean while our old are going without because of them. 😔
True💔
brandy marston my Nana used to say there is always room for one more. Clara reminded me so much of my Nana.
Sweet old lady, reminds me of mrs. Nales and my gramma. Sweetest ladies, taught me how to cook and crochet and knit and high tea.
Our society in US especially, worships the young and wealthy. We should all volunteer at nursing homes or senior facilities and raise these amazing ppl up. It doesn't take anything except a few hours a week to celebrate our older generations 💙
"God put me here for a reason" - oh Clara, he absolutely did. (crying) Bless you and thank you to your family for these incredible videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭
Tears.We love Clara! Rest in Peace. Christopher, you are a gem to have done this. Clara must have been moved by your devotion. The whole thing is just so moving.
I love your comment!!!
Depression Cooking? Translation: I would pay a fortune to try that pasta dish in today's society, looks beyond wonderful
well you can make it yourself.
They get some pretty fancy prices in today's restaurants for the same meals she's making
@@carfusz idk if they're the same but they're definitely very pricey. I'm not a good cook but I'm trying to make things myself, it saves up lots of money.

I bet it is! I made my own marinara once and I was going to smack myself it was so good but to make your own tomato paste!
well duh.
Only if you can find tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes. The things you buy at the store are flavourless balls of pink vinyl.
Did you use the anchovy paste?
@@maggiesmith2600 farmers market tomatoes I guess lol
I have been watching Clara for many years now...re-watching videos over and over...they make me smile...they ease my soul when I am having a bad day...they remind me of my own grandma whom I miss dearly...they make me laugh...her stories are wonderful...the food is as she says "it is good for you"...so at 4:50 when she says "I always say God put me here for a reason but I dont know what it is" well I along with thousands of your fans know the reasons...RIP Clara God has brought you home!
Very late reply...very well said..

RIP, you made my week!
Clara’s wisdom is going to be needed very soon :’( this is why she was on the earth...to teach us how to survive during a new depression coming.
I just wish everyone would be more like Clara's mom she used to feed all those old women. Meanwhile everyone now days are hoarding all the groceries and toilet paper and leaving our old without. 😔 makes me so sad.
brandy marston I won’t let it happen around me. I had baby wipes from a long time ago for my dog. Bought them in a huge box over 7 months ago. My dog is a bichon mix (white dog), so he gets grass and stains all over him. A mom posted on a local community page that she could not find baby wipes anywhere. I gave her four packs of the ones I had, which was all I had left. My dog can have stains, her baby needs wipes more than my dog does.
@@celes42017 thank you! Im the same way! Walmart brought out some toilet paper while i was there and i seen an old man trying to get to it through the hoard that was forming so I grabbed him one. It's not right to let them suffer because of others selfishness.
brandy marston exactly. Scary how our society acts. My family motto has always been: help others and that karma will be shown back to you tenfold
Yes I believe you hit the nail on the head. So much still to be learned from Clara even though she is now with God. Just found Clara this evening, but she taught this old gal so much. Thank you, dear Clara. Rest with God.
Clara: "God put me here for a reason"
Indeed, Clara. You've helped countless people during a global pandemic. Thank you.
These are the precious treasures of TH-cam, preserved so lovingly... forever.
Knoxbits 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
Be patient, trust god. These videos are helping me get though Corona Virus Isolation and learn!!
This is so important. These videos are so important. It teaches the younger generation about the Great Depression. And it's eternal.
It also shows them basic cooking w/o spending a lot of money on name brand fancy sauces, inexpensive meat, or other ingredients.
Now have the younger generation couple this with gardening at home for the ultimate cost-saving healthy cooking!
While I'm not old, 38, I wish things could be at the same pace they were back in the 20s 30s etc. Things may not have been easier, especially during the depression, but the speed at which life was lived seems almost zen-like. I feel as though I'm from the wrong time and place.
To me, these videos are as great as a trip to Disneyland. They bring so much happiness.
I’m actually crying she’s so cute I’m so sad she passed away rip Clara
I'm crying too.
Me too!! What an inspirational lady!
Lady you are very missed. You didn't know why God put you here. This was it. You brought knowledge and love to the world. Your memory lives forever. God Bless.
“God put me here for a reason. Not sure what it is but I’m sure he does.” When she said this line I broke into tears 🥺 Clara was such a special person. She gave joy through her stories and took us back to simpler times with her manny Great Depression recipes. She may not be here any more but you can still feel the love that she had in her heart through these videos. 🥺🙌🏼
Such a sweet comment Adrian! It is so refreshing to see kind, and respectful comments from young people! Be Blessed 🙏.
It's amazing how attached we can become to someone we never even met in this life. And, yet, when Clara says at the end, "I love you all. Goodbye," I can't help but tear up. She lived a very long life but I still wish we could've had her with us just a little bit longer. She never knew it. Clara taught me a lot in her videos and she also got me through some rough times in the past couple of years, too. What a sweet lady.
Thank you for sharing Clara with us. Even though I know she passed away a few years ago, it made me cry to hear her say this would be her last show. She was an absolute treasure.
I know, i cry every time i watch this precious lady. Her laugh is so young. She definitely has a sound mind at 95 years old! That’s amazing. Do you know how long she lived after this video? Heaven is truly blessed to have her.
the ending with her great-grandchild made my heart melt! :,)
Even though she lived a long life it makes me sad hearing she passed. My mom died last month and she was only 64. I keep thinking how unfair it is that other people get to be with their mom's on earth for 60+ years before they pass but here I am, 31 and motherless. Some people may think I'm old enough to accept it but no matter what age you are, it's never easy to lose your mother. Even if my mom lived to 100, it would have still been the hardest thing.
She went on hospice and died 7 days later at home. I was with her everyday because I quit my job and moved across state to be close to here. Nobody expected her yo go so fast be we knew it was going to happen. The day I found out she went on hospice, I was out of town visiting friends. I rushed back home that night and went to her room where she was set up with a hospital bed and such to keep her comfortable and hugged her and started crying. She told me I knew this was coming. Even though I knew it, I wanted her to keep fighting. I didn't want to lose her. Nobody would want that. Nobody can prepare themselves for that.
Even though I was with her everyday, I don't feel like I said enough. I don't feel like I hugged her enough. I don't feel like I said I love you enough. No matter what I actually did, it can never be enough knowing I can never hug her again or say I love you to her again. It hurts a lot.
I can't imagine losing my mom and I am 30 years old. She is 68 now and I wish I could have her for 100 more years. I am so sorry for your loss but I am certain your mom is with you every day, watching you and protecting you. Talk to her and you will be together again one day. Sending loving thoughts your way :)
Nicole Thanks 😊
My family does not want me. I have 35 grand and great Grand kids. Only two know me. They don't want a old lady. I have several that love me. God love them please.
I’m sorry to hear about your moms passing. I know it’s so hard. I lost a sister at 17. And I just moved over a thousand miles from my parents for my husbands job. I’m 32 and they’re in their late 60s. I get scared thinking about what I will do when one of them gets sick because I won’t be able to be there. I have my husband and my job to think about.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know it probably wasn’t easy and I hope you’re doing better these days. I hope that every day that passes, it slowly get easier.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I believe this is my third time watching through Clara’s videos. And the thing that strikes me compared to today’s living and cooking is how she doesn’t have the latest fanciest cookware dishware stove or anything. She uses it until it’s wore out. That’s how they made it through the depression I only hope that people of this generation catch on to this idea to make it through this next great depression. Love Clara
Faith. Family. Frugality.
“i’m not sure why God put me here but it’s for a reason” and then imagine the last TH-cam video she made in 2011 would revive her whole channel to a whole new legion of younger fans. WE LOVE CLARA😂😂😂
YES !!!!!😁💜😁💚😁🧡😁💛
It made me smile when she waved her hand and kiss to say good bye love you Clara :)
Out of all the videos I've watched (every single one, thus far), I haven't been able to watch this one until now....
'Bye bye!'
Breaks my heart.
Years after you've passed, thank you for everything you've done Clara.
You are an amazing woman.
And thank you Christopher, for sharing your Nonna with us all.
❤
Makes me think of my great grandma 😭😭😭. We lose so much everytime one of these gems passes away.
when i think of all those beautiful old people that we’re losing in Italy... it’s just so hard
True. 💔
💔
And now our country (USA) leads the pack in corona-virus deaths.😦 Stay safe everybody.

Only clueless morons believe any of the numbers we are told.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Don't try to bring your twisted political bullshit propagandga here.
Go back to your mothers basement and hug your computer. What a Loser you are.
I know why God put her here. Everybody who watched this knows why too. LOVE!
yes😭😭😭 Love you clara i love your channel when i die i wished to see here in heaven
288 to be great. Clara is what made America great through trials and tribulations. She is so much more than I am, my mother is, or even my children. My grandparents on the other hand. I remember my grandfather praying over the bible on Sunday mornings. That was our church. They too lived through the Depression. I honestly hope that we as a nation are never tested like that again. But then again, I hope that if we are, we become more like Clara. My God keep us all safe and in a state of sleep until he comes back!
+geekchaser i wish
geekchaser Amen
You got that right. People touch our lives, and we've never met them in person. I wish my Granny and Clara could've met. They both were birds of a feather!
Thank you, Christopher for sharing your grandmother with us. I just love her. I have shed many tears watching her, because she reminds me of my grandmother. I love her stories and all the recipes she shared with us. I know she's with her beloved husband now, which I'm happy about, but I'm also sad that she's gone now. I will always be a fan of Clara
He needs to write a book about her. Oh what we could learn from her stories.
I find myself watching Clara not for her considerable cooking skills, but because she relaxes me, clears my mind, makes me slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. I wish that I could have met this utterly lovely lady in person.
Anyone who gives her a thumbs down, is not a good person. Shes a real doll. And God did put her here for a very special reason. I love her story.
Just because someone hits thumbs down doesn't mean they don't like her. They just didn't like the video. There's nothing wrong with someone not liking something.
❤️Clara. Im a woman in Queensland Australia, 2020 teaching my teenager Daughter to cook you’re food. I know I didn’t know you, be gee I do feel connected to you.

Ms. Clara has touched everyone's life in one way or another, not just with her cooking. If only she knew.

She knows
She knows. Bless no you.
Clara is a person of much worth. I watch her every day. She is such an inspiration.
Clara made me tear up big time. What a sweet, kind, loving lady. Maybe that was her purpose for living such a long life, teaching others how to make do with little. It's valuable information and lets pray and hope we never need it to the same degree they did. It would be a rude awakening for the majority. On the other hand, it's a great way to save money if you're willing to put forth the effort. Rest in peace Clara and God bless your beautiful soul.
+Tonithenightowl Same for me! It's not often you see something so genuine, educational and simply fun on TH-cam. No cynicism, no pretenses and ALMOST no nasty comments below. Grazie mille, Clara, e riposare in pace!
+diane9247 Absolutely !!! You can tell she didn't have a mean bone in her body even when she did get a tad feisty with someone in her stories lol. They don't make em like that anymore. There was no bitterness in her. We can all learn from that alone. :o)
true she made me cry soo hard😭😭😭😭
You just know a good soul when you see one.:o)
+Tonithenightowl i really saw it
That beautiful face when she says "its good!" Melts me. 🤗
My eyes are full of tears and my heart is full of love. Thank you to everyone who made this series possible.
Never goodbye. Your videos will always be here!
