about

I’m Claire Cary, a food photographer, recipe developer and blogger based in Austin, Texas.

Eat With Clarity was born out of my love for food, health, photography, and again… food!

I’ve always loved to cook and love inspiring others to get back into the kitchen. Eat With Clarity welcomes all types of eaters but focuses on gluten free recipes that are easy to make and will have you reaching for seconds. With plenty of vegan, vegetarian & paleo options, there is something here for everyone!

my Story

I have always loooooved food and cooking. I loved to bake during my middle school years, but in high school and college I really struggled with disordered and restricted eating.

Food seemed to consume every aspect of my life and I was constantly focused on my weight, body and every single thing I put into it. Eventually, I was able to heal my relationship with food and discovered my love for nutrition and cooking.

After years of mystery symptoms and dozens of trips to dozens of doctors, I was eventually diagnosed with Celiac Disease in early 2020. I studied nutrition in college and post-grad (I practiced as a Certified Nutritionist and Health Coach before taking my blog full time!), so the transition was (thankfully!) easy for me. After a lot of trial and error in the kitchen, I finally made it my mission to prove gluten-free recipes can be just as good as the real stuff. Seriously, try my chocolate cupcakes or vegan brownies if you’re skeptical!

I believe food (and of course eating!) is one of life’s greatest pleasures and can make you feel amazing without sacrificing taste. Eat With Clarity is a place for simple, gluten free recipes that are designed to taste as good as they make you feel.

My recipes have been featured in publications such as Buzzfeed, Self, Yahoo, Thrive Magazine and more. I pour my heart and soul into every recipe to ensure you feel confident in the kitchen and have all the information you need to make everything perfectly the first time around. I have been blogging for over three years now thanks to the continuous love and support I receive on my recipes!

frequently asked questions
  • Q

    Do you do all of your own photography?


    A

    Yes! I took photography classes in high school, but it wasn’t until I started Eat With Clarity that I really discovered how much I love food photography. We eat with our eyes first after all!

  • Q

    Are you vegan?


    A

    I am gluten free out of medical necessity, but other than that I do not like to add labels to my diet. I gravitate toward a whole-food diet and including animal protein in my daily diet works well for me. You will find lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes on Eat With Clarity and I like to keep this a welcoming space for all types of eaters.

  • Q

    Did you take cooking classes or study nutrition?


    A

    I took a few cooking classes growing up, but am largely self taught in the cooking/baking arena! I studied nutrition and psychology in undergrad and became a Certified Nutritionist and Health Coach during a post-grad year. I worked with private clients for a few years, but my blog is now my full time job!

  • Q

    Do you offer freelance photography?

    Yes! I work with both brands and bloggers to photograph and/or develop recipes. If you are interested in hearing more about what I offer, don’t hesitate to reach out to claire@eatwithclarity.com.

  • Q

    Do you blog full time?


    A

    Yes! Running Eat With Clarity is how I spend the vast majority of my time. It’s a lot of work and took a long time to get here, but I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s because of all of you that I get to do this, so thank you!

    Do you have a cookbook?


    A

    I would love to write a cookbook someday, but for now I have a gluten free recipe ebook with over 35 easy to make recipes. All of them are also vegan!

    Do you do custom cakes and baked goods?
