I have a home made potato masher that my mother gave to me. It was given to her by an elderly neighbor when I was 5 years old. The lady told my mother her husband made it, and then it was 50 years old. I will soon be 68. So, you can see how old it is now. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I have old bowls given to me by other relatives that I use all the time. I love watching Clara use hers. I also have my mother's meat grinder, and dads butter churns that I used to make fresh butter from the cream from dads cows. I did that in high school. So many fond memories using old things. Oh the joy reaped from Clara's videos!

“They are good if you are constipated too.” Clara you are such an adorable grandma.

I will be making these next week in honor of Clara and cannot wait to share the video with everyone! Thanks Clara for inspiration and wisdom!

I think the cutest part of the video was Clara's great-grandson putting the sprinkles on the cookies and then saying, 'I love cookies.' Too cute!

"They're good if you're constipated!" She was adorable! I love her old dishes and scales. They remind me of my grandma, now long gone. RIP Clara.

Even though you are not here with us, you are still a joy to behold. Thank you For the priceless lessons you taught us .; )

Thank you! What else is there to say! A happy reminder of time spent with my own Nanny who I miss very much. Clara, you are spectacular. Keep up the good work.

I know you’re no longer with us but I still enjoy your cooking and videos. May you Rest In Peace Claire. Your granddaughters are so wonderful and so loving and just a joy to watch them bake with you- I just love the shortcuts they use too ! Really wonderful girls and a tradition they’ll always have from you. Such a wonderful gift!

These are my Favorite Italian cookies. I make them every year, everyone loves them! I only wish I knew Clara. She is such a kind woman. RIP ❤

I come here, like her great-grandson. All cranky then I see my gramma's kitchen, her love and laughter then everything is right again after all.

My grandma made Italian cookies every year. My sister carries on the tradition for Christmas. The fig cookies are a lot of work but definitely worth the effort. The video brought back wonderful memories. Thank you!

I just found Miss Clara videos. I love them. He was a wonderful lady. Learning what the done in the depression years. I was so sad to learn she had passed

What an amazing Lady. She so reminds me of my Grandmother who “almost” made it to her 100th BD. She died 01/05 and would have been 100 on 02/18. I love Claras’ recipes.

It is like my Grandma would say “You young ones have to learn as much as you can from us oldies, we are like a book that has to be returned to the big Library in the sky one day”. Listen and learn from your grandparents, parents, older family cause it is true - we all have a return dates - once these family recipes, stories are told, keep them safe until they have to be passed on to the next generation. Thank you Clara xxx

I adore Nana Clara! I can watch her videos over and over. I wish I had “met” her sooner. Love to her family!

Those are my favorite cookies. I miss Clara, she was such a beautiful soul❤

What a wonderful lady she was. R.I.P Clara

So precious how honest and down to earth Clara was! I wish I had known about her when she was alive so I could have sent her gifts and cards! She warms my heart! What a beautiful family!❤

I just love this lady. I just started watching her today and I’m in Awe 😄 Even though she’s no longer here, I still love her. Beautiful personality and demeanor!😍

Hahaha love how real the family is on camera. Grandma talking about them being good when you’re constipated 🤣 my family is the same way ❤️😊

This is my favorite lady on KZread. I hope she knew how awesome she was.

Such precious films with Clara! They inspire thoughts of remembering our own dear Grandmas or wishing we had Clara for a Grandma. What a lovely family!.

This is the first time I’ve seen nona Claras cooking, and I am in love. I wish I had a Nona Clara. She is a beautiful soul, so much wisdom. Cherish every moment with your family and learn as much as possible. She brings me so much comfort and joy. A great storyteller. Love the recipes. I will certainly attempt to make some of Nonas recipes. God bless you.

so many times I come back to these videos to reflect on better times....she was a beautiful soul with a very calming way about her...she is America's grandma thank you for sharing her with us

To Clara's family: Thank you for keeping Clara's videos up. I am so grateful to come across her videos. She's touched millions of peoples hearts and lives. Truly blessed. 🙏 🕊

Whenever I’m missing my Grammy or just need to be reminded how the simple things are the best things, I come here. Thank you Clara!!

I'm back to Clara's channel to get her recipe again. I never tire of watching her. She is so sweet, and to meet her great grandson. He is so adorable ...❤❤❤

I love listening to Clara. Her recipes inspire me to do better. I miss Clara!!!!!

I had to watch this just one more time...it's getting close to Christmas & Clara always made these cookies & some other things too, especially for Christmas. I'm sure she inspired the girls to continue this tradition every Christmas now too. I miss you Clara, but I'm glad you are back with your husband & I hope you can make these cookies in Heaven for God too. Blessings to her family and as always, RIP Clara! I've watched her videos so many times, I pretty much know all of them by heart now, but I never tire of coming here & watching them again & again...it's a wonderful place to come, when the world crowds in & makes life difficult, like it is today. Blessings to all the other souls who come here too, for the same reason.🙏💌💝

This cheers me up so much. Nana's lived a good life.

I come back to Clara not just for the recipes my mom learned and cooked from my grammy, (almost same as Claras), but because she is so adorable, kind, and presents the inner beauty that so many people of today are lacking.

What a lovely family, wish my Nana was still here with us, she was Irish and also had lovely recipes which she passed on, would definitely make this recipe for Christmas, am feeling so sad but happy at the same time looking at Nana Clara, miss my Nana. Such a lovely lady Nana Clara

CHRISTOPHER THANK YOU NOW WE ALL HAVE NONA CLARA FOR COOKING LESSONS AND HEART WARMING MEMORIES

I always return to Claras videos for my holiday cooking. Even though she is gone she lives forever in my heart.

Sweetness! You and your family are just heartwarming. Thank you for your recipes and stories.

I am a 70+ year old Italian-American man and Clara reminds me of family. I love to cook and have been making Clara's cuccidati every December for at least 9 years now. Everyone loves them. Than you Clara and grandson Christopher.

YES!!!! You have to use the ravioli cutting wheel & cut them on a diagonal! and of course the icing & spinkles are the most fun part especially as kids. The only thing we did differently was add just a drop or two of food coloring so our icing was beautiful pastel colors; blue, pink, yellow & green. Looked more like Easter colors but we didn't care. :)

this is my favorite episode. So much love and happiness shared over baking cookies- This year I am going to attempt to make them- thank you Clara and family for sharing her life with us

I love watching her videos! Honestly makes me miss my mamaw so much. She seems like a very lovely and down to earth woman. It was nice seeing family visit her and learn from her. Not many kids do that anymore. 😊

She came from an era that seems just about extinct now. I get a mixture of feelings watching her videos. It's a shame people can't live forever!! Well, I guess in a way- she will through her videos. Thank You for leaving this legacy Clara!!!

God bless you dear Clara xxx i feel so blessed just to have had the opportunity to have watch you even for this blink of your beautiful treasured life xxx

What a Beautiful Christmas Memory!! Love to You in Heaven Clara!!🙏❤️

❤ still watching 2024. I’m a 30 year old momma to 3. Love these videos.

"I dont know if it's worth it" hahah love the honesty.

Love to Clara. So sorry to hear that she has passed.

I just started watching these videos today. I plan to make a lot of this food with my children. thank you all for sharing Clara with us. she was and in my opinion forever will be a beautiful woman inside and out. rest in peace Clara you earned every bit of the Paradise you are now in

The Holiday Cooking series combines my two favorite things - History & baking!! I love it!

Wow she said let them do it so they can learn and I’ll be resting! Indeed sweet granny indeed! Rest peacefully 💙

This brings back fun memories... all the Italian cookies lined up on the beds and tables. Love Love Love the Fig Cookie videos😗💕

Watching her reminds me of how dexterous my mother and grandmother's hand were. Literally worked magic right before your eyes. Rest easy, Miss Clara! What a wonderful legacy. ❤

I just started watching Clara's videos was in tears because she reminded so much of my great grandma and the family baking and cooking during the holidays. Thank you so much to whoever did these videos I watch at least one a day because she is so sweet and her voice makes me feel like I'm a kid again with my own granny. Clara may you sleep in peace you have a loving family. Bless your heart

I love the picture of The Last Supper above the kitchen table. I'm definitely going to make these for Christmas, and dye my hair when I get old:)

Always your grandmothers cooking is the best, I miss my grandmother now I am a grandmother myself.. I really enjoy your great ideas , THANKS FOR SHARING.

Lovely, I had watched my own grandmother make these cookies when she lived with us, I was too small to help, but enjoyed watching all the same. I enjoyed Clara's narration as she and her granddaughters worked together :)

I love it, "their good if you constipated girls" Hahaha... I'm going to make these 2017 Christmas... Fantastic funny lady...

.I re watch all Clara's videos because it makes me feel love and warmness. I miss my Nana and wish she lived into her 90's. I lost her when I was 16… she was 67. I was in Alabama and my mom called and said she had a stroke. But she was alive. I wish I had money for plane ticket but all I could afford was a bus ticket home to MA where Nana was. She died before I made it home. It crushed me! Holidays have never been the same. Nana's fill your heart w/ a special love that can never be replaced.

I am so glad to come here, I just discovered Clara a few days ago. I love hearing her stories and the food reminds me of when I lived on a farm in rural Oregon, my mom would can as well and we had our own garden as well as of course corn and squash and mint and beans and eggplant and peppers and all sorts of things. We had chickens and so we always had eggs. I know Clara has been gone for some time now but these videos can keep her alive, it must be so nice for the family to be able to come here and see her and share in the memories of her legacy--Thank you so much for posting and keeping her memory alive for ALL OF US.

Oh how I have enjoyed watching these two episodes. Such beautiful, rich tradition. I want to make these with my Mom. Thank you sweet Clara. Bless you, angel.

This is one of my favorite Clara videos, not because of the recipe but because it shows her favorite thing: family. The girls calling her Nana, the great grandson wanting to help her. As the years pass and that little boy grows, he can watch this and see how much his great grandmother loved him. I miss my Nana every day. I miss helping her can the garden veggies, make pasta from scratch and anything else she needed. Family dinners were everything and they still are. These videos remind me of my Nana so much. Thank you for sharing your Nana with the world.

It's wonderful that young Henry will carry memories of his great Grandmother with him for the rest of his life. The cookies are great with brandy instead of whisky as well. Thanks Clara!!

I watch Clara several times a year.She lifts me up and inspires me.She was the best and to her wonderful family thankyou for sharing her💕

All grandmas are beautiful and Clara is no exception. I wish I could have filmed my grandma making all of her homemade pastas and gravy. I keep her memory alive by making everything that she did from her cheese to pasta, and from her soups to cookies. Everybody enjoy your grandmas, they are precious!

The family is beautiful, the memories are cherished. Christmas is how it should be with good food, great memories and family around you. I wish I have this in the future.

I've been making cucidati since I first saw Clara's videos some years ago. I watch every year to refresh my memory before making them. I've seen other recipes, but they all fall short on ingredients. These are by far the best. Clara remains a gem and she has become part of my Italian family through KZread. Buon Natale ai tutti.

I love her! 'Good when you're constipated.' 😆 So cute how she says ' cook till rosey on top.' Adorable. ❤
