  • What a wonderful woman.

  • I think I'll be 94 before one of my videos gets this many views.

  • God bless this wonderful woman.

  • You Made My Heart Cry. You reminded me of my grandfather, His down to earth Wisdom. God Bless You!

  • oh man she has got to be the sweetest YOUNG woman on the whole planet!!!

  • lol at the end

  • I can tell you why she looks so well at her age. She has stayed busy, occupying her mind and her body, her wonderful positive attitude! She didn't sit around and mope about things she can't change, wish for things she can't have, and she gets out of herself and gets involved with others. I would love to meet this woman and take her a dozen roses!

  • It humbles me and inspires me when I watch you cook these delicious dishes. I'v learned a lot (im only 26 years old) and I appreciate it Clara. thank you!

  • she has strong italian features!!

  • clara you"re an inspiration in these hard times... thanks for your pearls of wisdom!

  • I see videos like this and then I see a big green like bar but then there's ALWAYS a few dislikes. What would honestly make someone dislike this video? I see absolutely NO reason to dislike it.

  • Why does she bring tears to my eyes? I love her and only met her 20 min ago on video!

  • Thank you Clara, you brought a big smile upon my face. I needed that.

  • @TheReelLifeProduct

    Italiano!!!!!

  • I love the peppers and eggs too. I never had them till you talked about it.

  • You make me smile. That's quite a legacy to give people.

  • I think Clara is so beautiful. Her smile makes my whole self smile. :) I love her.

  • @TheReelLifeProduct Probably.

  • God Bless you Mrs.Grandma Clara & may the Lord continue to give you the desires of your heart!..be well & keep laughing cause you put a smile on my face everytime i watch your videos which to me are spectacular! ;o)

  • love watching ur videoes

  • Clara, you are such a hoot! I love the memories you've shared. People nowadays just expect too much and don't take the time to appreciate what they have. Thank you so much for passing on your knowledge.

  • I would so love to have my book autographed by Clara! I love watching her videos! Thank you for putting joy into my day!

  • Clara your family is beautiful. Glad you are enjoying eachothers company. How lucky they are to have a special Mother and Grandmother with so much wisdom.

  • This woman is AMAZING!! Someone close to her PLEASE give her a giant USMC hug and thanks from me!

  • Thank You sweet Clara for your positive attitude and cooking instructions. My family got me threw the great depression by gardening, and canning, and giving food to those who didn't have gardens. I would like to store flour. How do I keep it in a good container, and bug free? Thank You, Karen

  • 4:43 you just witnessed god on earth shining through us......such a sweet person.

  • were not going throw a depression

  • Thank you so much :)

  • LoVe U Clara !!! I'm Gina get ur Cook Book!

  • I recently lost my grandmother and one thing I will always miss are her stories of growing up during the great depression. You fill that void for me and I love you for it! You're too cute!! Grandma lived in her home in Minnesota until the end and what quick as a whip like you!

  • In the winter it's so pu-pi-per… hahaha. I love Clara.

  • I love you! You remind me of my great-grandmother.. I miss her. I wish I could make you a cup of tea and sit down and chat. Sigh.

  • Id give you 20 years of my life if i could

  • Clara do you speak Italian?

    

  • Clara, I bought your cookbook and it arrived in the mail yesterday. I am loving every word! Keep on living and keep on cooking!

  • great video! i just subscribed to your chanel! :)

  • You're awesome!

  • I'm glad I stumbled across this channel! :) This is truly great.

  • @fazedinandout 4 people don't have a heart because she will die soon shes VERY polite and nice and 4 people disliked I liked, commented, favourited, added to my playlist and subscribed. I'm trying my hardest not to swear at those trolls but I will put this down gently... All you trolls out there expecially here (may of spelt that wrong) Go jump off a cliff into spikes and burn to death in lava.

    That's all,

    Kyle

  • I absolutely love your channel, Clara. You're so amazing!

  • Clara I wish I could give you a hug!! <3

    Sending you much love from Brazil!

  • "I don't know what I would change. We went through it and we survived so I guess I wouldn't change anything."

  • Clara, you're awesome! It's a joy to watch you videos and to hear your stories!

  • i love you clara

  • Love you Clara. Love your videos and the book is fantastic!!!!!

  • Ged bless you Clara!

    I hope your life lasts as long as you need it too!

  • Your SO inspiring! (:

  • omg you're so freaking AWESOME. i love you!

  • I LOVE YOU CLARA!

  • shes so cute! =)

    we all should really learn from her. this country is goin thru some hard times right now and knowing how to cook clean meals on a tight budget will help. i strongly urge anyone between 21-30 to become more self-sufficient =). u will thank urself later on for it.

    my granny taught me 6 ways to prepare lentils and each one tasted good. now, as a college student i still use these recipes. tasty and affordable(lentils are dirt cheap!)

  • I would like to know what is was like to have an 'icebox'. Did the ice man come and put ice in the icebox? How did that work? They look very small. Did you have a coal man and use coal?

  • I always get choked up when I watch these videos. I miss my own grandmother (my Oma) very much.

  • you're great gal

  • I'm a 20 year old male and it would have been awesome to know you in real life. You'd be a cool friend.

  • You are the best...and all of your wisdom is being passed on to my kids at least...i have three girls and they will all know how to cook a poormans meal and eggs and peppers before they leave this house...love ya inspiration

  • Woo hoo! Chi-town!

  • Clara I love your videos and you! Thank you for sharing all your stories with us. I feel so special to be able to log on here and watch you.

  • Clara is the sweetest grandmother i know (:

    I just love your positive attitude , and wise advise . ^^

  • eyes are so full of tears, to the youth out here, you should really take heed to this because here is what you call ''a real woman'' god bless her heart. she can cook, clean, healthy, sweet, busy, she gets things done. at 94 she is still at it., a true definition of a woman, she is so cherished and probably don't know it, she probably don't care either. woman like this don't need to fit in or pretend, they are home-makers with purpose and wisdom, this woman along with my grandma are geniuses.

  • You remind me of my Gram. I love your videos, they make me smile. :)

  • your sooo Sweet : )

  • God bless you

  • her time is soon

  • @MrJordykid8 sad but true. shell go to heaven :')

  • @MrJordykid8

    Haha, That's fucked up.

  • I miss the simplicity that existed when I was growing up. The women who did things together, helping each other, sharing with family and neighbors - a sewing machine, a pressure cooker for canning, fruit from backyard trees or an abundance of tomatoes from the garden - Clara reminds me of these women. We don't do those things anymore, no one has the time, and we have lost something precious. More tragic is that children have lost a fine example of caring and sharing. Thank you, Clara.

  • @billjamesw why would you think that? i doubt he or she has anyway :)

  • too funny Miss Clara, Skan is a gorgeous place, winters there are magical. I really miss Maggie's Pie Shop, didn't move too far away but would drive back if Skan would put out a "Olden Days" Street Cafe...all you Ladies could teach the young one's something new!

  • shes 82 years old right now

  • Favoritted +1

  • I want that hat/trench combo @2:39

  • What a wonderful,inspirational woman. Thank you Clara for sharing your wisdom and cheering me up today! I will be looking for your book right now.

  • You are a remarkable woman, you are an inspiration, and your wisdom is profound. I send you love and wish you health and happiness for many more years to come. xoxo

  • Thank you !!!

  • I truly appreciate your genuine spirit! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    P.S. Christopher: you are one lucky guy!

  • @ClydesRevenge what?!!! when?!

  • @ClydesRevenge what for real? how do u kno?

  • It's the older folk like this who make me wonder how they see our ungrateful world today. Back then, things were so different.

    BTW, her cooking made me hungry!!! :p

  • Ma'am, you have my utmost respect.

  • I LOVE YOU! <3

  • I agree with spikedottv

  • Comment removed

  • I guess one of the reasons people love Clara's videos is that you appreciate life more after watching them.

  • Clara, those pictures of you and your friends and family all smiling in this intro and just being together, you sure made the best of tough times! The real beauty is there just shining through!

  • guys Clara is great, but dont hope for good stuff... you must INTEND to do it!

  • oldest vlogger ever

  • aww a lovely lady wish everyone was like this.

  • @daviessa91 ... you wish everyone was old?

    come to canada

  • I love this show

    even though I don't cook

    I am hungry afterwards

  • She should have her own show on the Food Network. I never watch the Food Network, but I'd watch her show.

  • i love you !May God give you 200 years more to live.

  • @Cizmaru08 200 more thats a sentence to live life hard as this ,Personally I believe she has served as a Warrior to the world ,Pardon me Maam for saying , At 94 you look Marvelous live life, love Friends , Family and Children While spending your golden years doing what you darn well please ! ! - I hope I`ll make it that far too Thank you for your Great Recipes & Reminising Videos.

  • WOW! Why are you so interesting! I love to cook simple things so maybe that's it. Or maybe it's the stories... Keep it up, i hope to see more videos for quite some time!

  • The reason she looks so young is because she had only one child! They can be a lot of stress!

  • @jerami101 maybe.. but i know a few women. who have had 3 or more children and still look great. My grandma had 12! she's 72 and my grandpa is 80. They both looks like they are in their 50-60's. The secret is being positive and active. And of course eating healthy.

  • I love you Nonna Clara!

  • chi-town

    

  • I'm bad at cooking because I never actually did and was glad to find Clara. I found myself keep on watching Clara's clips. I enjoy watching her cook and also hearing about her past. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love it!

  • someone save her please

    your so brave good lord blesses you

  • @AMysteriousMiracle im not too religous myself... but i do agree with you. She is an amazing women...

    and yeah, god bless her.

  • someone save her please

  • Thank you for your words of wisdom Clara.

  • hello

    

  • I think you are wonderful!! God Bless you and your's.

  • I love Clara. She reminds me of my Italian grandma. I miss her so much.

  • How can this video receive 3 thumbs down. If we all experienced half of what Clara went through I think we would be more cautious about the way we live today and would have a lot less to complain about. Thanks again Clara and look forward to many more of your videos.

  • I love this lady!

  • THis is so inspiring!

  • I love the videos! I wish she you were my great grandmother, what a lovely soul you are! Thanks for sharing how you meet your husband. much love from an American living in the Netherlands.

  • Picturesque... I'm 49 and I can't say it! God bless you, Clara.

  • What a wonderful lady! You are such an inspiration. You have fans here in Australia too! I have tried many of your recipes and they have all turned out perfect. My favorite is the "peas and pasta". Keep up the wonderful work!!

  • The kind of people who "lead" us, president , prime minister or what ever they like to call themselves should at least have gone thrue 1/10 of what Clara has sufferd to understand the " real " people...us . Pay attention to what Clara is teaching , because depression is coming back with a vangeance.

  • @luc649 thats the only problem countrys need leaders who have gone thru different times like the depression so they can help us not go thru another one

  • I'm not sure if you will answer this, but, what is your background?

  • "Don't think negative -- think positive, and it'll come to you. Someday you'll have what you want... I'm sure." This made me tear up! Clara, you are amazing and your videos are so relaxing!!! Keep 'em coming! You rock!

  • @cometrally Yes they are :D

    I woke up at 4am after going to bed early and I was bored and saw these lol. Very relaxing!

  • thank you

  • I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, Clara. I recently purchased your cookbook and LOVE it. I am recommending it to all my friends. What an inspiration you are!

  • Clara, I love your videos, and i just cant' wait to see more.. I just ordered your book, and I'm so estatic!! I can't wait to recieve it on the 20th! what a great Christmas gift, I told my husband i wanted it, and he ordered it for me!.. LOVE YOU CLARA!!!

  • Clara is awesome! I feel so fortunate to see her on youtube!

  • God bless you Clara

  • This women has lived life..

  • You can't watch Clara without smiling. She's like everybody's Grandmother.

  • I love your videos. I hate to say it but we are going through a depression and i think a lot of people are in denial. Look at Invisiblepeople on youtube and you will see how many tent cities are going up now in the US. When I saw it I was shocked to see how many people are homeless now here. We are lucky and have a place to live now but we were actually homeless after Hurricane Katrina for four months. I appreciate the recipies from Clara.

  • Hello Clara I think you are wonderful. I wish you where in my family. :)

    I have a question, when is the best time to pick dandelions greens? I cant wait to try them

  • This is the sweetest video...

  • you are a darling lady and may you live another 20 years with no health problems and sheer happiness.

  • @garycalgary and magical unicorns will rain down from the sky and make all your wishes come true :D

  • Clara is truly amazing!

    Check out this one ---

    on youtube v=ChVNWEGNnjg “Tell Me Why”

  • puppy :D

  • What a great bunch of videos....thank you clara for sharing your stories and recipes. It brought me back to days of being young and spending time with my grandmother who was born during the great depression... Keep up the good work, going to go find your cook book online now....all the best!!!

  • @celticchrys The reason this depression doesn't seem as bad as the Great Depression is because the government is supporting people with unemployment, foodstamps, and other social programs. Take away those programs, and see if

    we are not in worse shape....and it's still going to get worse.

  • @jeaninvirginia I agree with your comment about the depression. When my parents went through the depression there were no such thing as government social programs. Life was a whole lot more harsher even in Canada but people were helpful to each other because the need was so great.

    I just thought what you said was such a smart comment

  • I'm an 18 year old guy and this great-grandmother is such an inspiration!

  • @osubuckeyes459 she really is...=)

  • We can get through it "By keeping together; by not wishing for too much". That is wisdom.

  • thank you for sharing all the wonderful pictures of you and your family, husband, and friends,,,,,,,,absolutely beautiful!

  • I bet you have always had a good sense of humor. THAT will get you through so much. No need to cry about things. Might as well laugh.

  • I just finished your book and plan to make every receipe, I am sure many times! Thank you so much for sharing your life and you are truly an inspiration to get through today's hard times. You are very special and your family is so lucky to have these stories and receipes in print......oh what I would do to have some of my grandma's receipes. I am sending you a big hug!!

  • AHA! So your husband showed you how to make pizzas.

  • I love stories like this. Very inspiring. Thank you.

  • You're an awesome Lady Clara!

  • Clara,you remind me of my mother who used to tell us how everyday life was during the great depression.I think you are very interesting when you speak to us of day and hardships gone by!Keep it up Clara.We love you!

  • @FUZIONxGamingx Would you say that to your grandma?? she reads these comments

  • Clara your the BEST!!!

  • Are you famous? I just clicked on your video and BAM you looked so familiar!!

  • You are fabulous Clara! It would be lovely to see more videos if you have the time to make some.I really love the Pizza and the baked apples.Diane (in England)xxx

  • I also wish Clara would make more videos and love them so much. I hope Clara is feeling well and I look forward to any new videos. You are a great person.

  • i enjoy all your videos i just discovered them and they are very relevant to my current situations in life, times are hard (but not nearly as hard im sure as it was for you) but still hard and all these videos are very helpful and i hope you are around for much longer to teach us your acquired knowledge

  • Wish you would make more video's
