Do you free feed, have mealtimes, or something else?
Set mealtimes. You can feed half a meal in the morning and the other half at night, or all at once. If you are feeding all at once, earlier in the day is preferred rather than evening, when there is more likely going to be less exercises being done.

For training purposes do you use a clicker, vocal praises, treats, or a combination??
I use treats and vocal praises. We usually start with treats, and transition to vocal praise so that we can wean them off of the treats and so that they don't expect to get a treat for everything they do.

Do you agree with attaching your puppy to a cable on one of those yard stakes when she is outside? Once we have a fence (a couple weeks at most) will a stake be necessary?
There is nothing wrong with her being on a lead attached to something if there is no fence, in my opinion. Just make sure you keep your eye on her so that she doesn't get tangled up. Personally, once a fence was up, I'd let her off the lead. But it's up to you!

What kind of treats do you use?
I like to use small bite sized soft treats such as hot dog, apple, cheese... really, you can use anything. I can use kibble for Jersey as she'll eat anything! hehe

During the process of crate training, how often should we put her in the crate and close the door when we are home?
Whenever you are unable to keep your eye on her (for house training purposes).

How do you keep your pups out of the cat's food bowl?
This is something that will have to be taught. If she is being supervised, she likely won't get into the bowl. But if she does, gently take her by the collar, or move the bowl the bowl away and say "no."

Something that would help is teaching her "leave it". Place a treat on the ground and say "leave it". If she makes a go for it, cover it with you foot. When she backs off, tell her "good girl!" and give her a reward (but NOT the treat that you told her to leave). This is quite easy to teach and they understand it well. So once she knows this, if she walks towards to the kitty's food, say "leave it" and she should. Then tell her "good girl!"
