The Crafty Gal Carla 2023-03-03 | This is probably one of the hardest secrets we've ever had to keep but we are so happy share with everyone that WE ARE PREGNANT! This past Fall I found out my husband and I were expecting our first child and we truly still cannot believe it! We told our family and friends shortly after and wanted to share these special memories with you all on here! They were SO SURPRISED because this is not something we had been planning for at all!

Thank you so much for watching and we are so excited to share this moment with you all on here!

EASY SUPER BOWL RECIPES 🏈

The Crafty Gal Carla 2022-02-01 | ✨T I M E S T A M P S

1:42 Football Shaped Garlic & Cheese Pull-out Bread
7:47 Mini Football Potato Skins
14:04 Football Spinach Dip Bread Bowl

✨I N G R E D I E N T & G R O C E R Y L I S T

Garlic & Cheese Pull- Out Bread
+ 2 packages of Pilsbury Biscuit Grands Dough-
+ Fresh Italian Parsley
+ Freshly Grated Parmesan
+ 4-5 Fresh Garlic cloves
+ 4 tbs. of Unsalted Butter or olive oil
+ Gruyere cheese or Fontina cheese (to stuff your bread rolls)
+ parchment paper

Potato Skins
+ Russet Potatoes
+ Sharp Cheddar Cheese
+ Sliced Bacon
+ Sour Cream
+ Green Onions
+Unsalted Butter
+ Salt & Pepper

Spinach Dip Bread Bowl
+ 1 Large Loaf of Bread (The bigger the loaf the most dip you’ll need)
+ Large Tub of Pre-made Spinach Dip
+ 1 Red Pepper
+ Crackers for Serving

D I R E C T I O N S

Garlic & Cheese Pull- Out Bread
1. Make Garlic Sauce: Grate 4-5 cloves of garlic into a small sauce pan, place on medium heat and add butter. Once butter is melted, let the mixture cook for about 1-2 minutes, turn off the heat and add chopped parsley. Set aside.
2. Line a pan with parchment paper.
3. Use scissors to cut out a football template to create the shape of a football with your dough later. See video for details on this.
4. Cut 3/4” to 1” cubes of your Gruyere cheese to stuff your Dough with.
5. Grab a slice of your biscuit gran dough, cut it in half to make two biscuits out of your dough. Take one half and stretch it out a little with your hand. Stuff a cheese cube in the center of the dough and put together the corners to close the roll completely.
6. Place on parchment paper and begin to form the football shape with your dough. Continue “Step 5” until you have formed the rest of your football.
7. Brush some of your sauce on top of all of your rolls, top with parmesan cheese and place in the oven at 350 degrees F.
8. When the tops of the rolls are slightly gold, remove form the oven, smother is the rest of the garlic sauce while the rolls are still hot.
9. Cut thin rectangles out of the leftover gruyere cheese to form the laces of the football and enjoy!

Potato Skins
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (1 for the bacon and 1 for the potatoes)
3. On the first baking sheet, poke hols in your rusty potatoes, drizzle olive oil on them and massage them until all the sides are fully covered, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. On the second baking sheet, lay up your sliced bacon and place both baking sheets into the oven.
5. While these are in the oven you can slice your green onions and set aside.
6. At about 15 minutes, bacon should b e crispy and ready to remove from the oven, and set aside to cool down and leave the potatoes in the oven. Once cool, chop bacon into bits & set aside.
7. Once you can stick a fork in and out of your potatoes easily (about 45 minutes), they are ready, and set aside until they are cool enough to touch.
8. Cut potatoes sin half. Using a small spoon, scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving a 1/4 shell of potato. Brush the inside of each potato with melted butter and place potatoes face down on the baking sheet. Bake for another 15 minutes or until crispy.
9. Remove from the oven, fill potatoe with cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Place back in the oven to melt the cheese for about 5 minutes.
10. Remove from the oven, create laces on top of each potato with your sour cream, top with green onions and enjoy!

Spinach Dip Bread Bowl
1. Measure your bread loaf to them measure what size you would like to cut your football. ( I did a 7” football)
2. Measure and cur a sheet of parchment paper to the size that you would like your football to be. Fold parchment it in half and draw half of the football with the open side of the football being on the side that is folded. Cut out the shape you just drew and unfold the sheet and you should be left with a football template.
3. Place you football template in the center of the loaf and use two toothpicks to keep the template in place.
4. Cut your football using a serrated knife and remove the inside of the loaf and fill it with your spinach dip of choice.
5. Cut thin rectangles out the red pepper to form the laces of the football. Serve with cracker or mini toasts and enjoy!

DELICIOUS PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE RECIPE

The Crafty Gal Carla 2021-11-21 | ✨ I N G R E D I E N T S

CRUST
+ 2 cups or 40 gingersnap cookies
+ 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
+ 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar
+ pinch of salt

FILLING
+ 4- 8oz. packages of Philadelphia cream cheese
+ 1 & 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar
+ 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar
+ 1 - 15oz. can of pumpkin puree
+ 1/4 cup of sour cream
+ 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
+ 2 tsp. of vanilla
+ 1 & 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
+ 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
+ 1/2 tsp. of ginger
+ 1/4 tsp. of all spice
+ 1/2 tsp. of salt
+ 4 large eggs
+ 9 inch springform pan

✨R E C I P E

CRUST
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grind gingersnap cookies in food processor until the cookies turn into fine crumbs.
3. Pour the crumbs into a medium size bowl and mix with brown sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
4. Use a stick of butter to lightly butter the sides of the springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. (Tip: Add a little butter to the bottom of the pan to ensure that the parchment paper doesn’t move or slide when it’s time to form the crust)
5. Pour the cookie crumb mixture into the pan and pack them tightly to form the crust. You can do a flat crust on the bottom of the pan or you can allow the crust to go up the sides of the pan. Ensure to leave at least half and inch of space from the crusted the bottom of the pan. (Tip: I like to use a measuring cup to pack the crumbs in tightly and evenly)
6. Place crust in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden or browned on the edges.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

FILLING
1. In a large bowl mix the cream cheese and sugars until fully combined.
2. Add the sour cream, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix until combined after each addition.
3. Then using a sifter, sift in the flour and mix. Then add all your spices and mix.
4. Pour in 4 eggs, one at a time, ensuring to combine each egg into the mixture before adding the next addition and set aside.
5. Use aluminum foil to cover the bottom of your springform pan and sides of the cooled springform pan and place in the center of a large pan to create a water bath. The goal is to ensure that the springform pan is covered with enough aluminum foil so that water does not seep into the cheesecake. Pour water into the large pan and ensure that the larger pan is about half way full.
6. Pour the filling into the cooled springform pan with the crust and back for about an hour and 20 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool.
8. Top with cinnamon whipped cream and enjoy!

2. In a food processor, blend bear bites cookies for about a minute or until fine crumbles are formed. It is important not to have big crumbles.
3. Pour cookie crumbles into a separate bowl along with coconut oil and mix with a spatula until fully combined and the oil has spread throughout all the cookie crumbs.
4. Using coconut oil spray, grease the mini cheesecake pan. If using mini cupcake pan, skip this step and line the pan with mini cupcake liners instead.
5. Evenly distribute the cookie crumbs across the pan. If using mini cheesecake pan, pour about tablespoon for each cheesecake. If using for the mini cupcake pan, pour about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons per cheesecake.
6. Using the bottom of your pumpkin pie spice or anything flat that fits inside each cheesecake slot, press down into each clot to push the crumbs tightly together to form the crust.
7. Bake crust at 325° Fahrenheit. If using mini cheesecake pan, bake for 10 minutes. If using mini cupcake pan bake for 5 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and let cool. Edges of each crust should be slightly browned.

For Filling
1. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer cream together cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Cream until nice and smooth.
2. Add greek yogurt, egg, pumpkin puree, honey, and vanilla. Lightly mix until combined. Make sure not to overmix.
3. Add collagen peptides, protein powder, and mix with a spatula until mostly smooth.
4. Once pan is completely cool, even distribute batter throughout each of slots in the pan.
5. Bake the mini cheesecakes at 350° Fahrenheit. If using mini cheesecake pan, bake for 30-35 minutes. If using mini cheesecake pan, bake for 20 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let cool. Edges of cheesecakes should be slightly browned.
7. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour or more. The more the merrier!
8. Once removed from the refrigerator, top with cool whip, a sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, a pecan, and enjoy!

FALL CHARCUTERIE BOARD 🍂🧀🍁

EASY DOG CAKE RECIPE

The Crafty Gal Carla 2021-09-22 | ✨ I N G R E D I E N T S
Dog Cake Recipe
+ 2 cups of almond flour
+ 1 teaspoon of baking soda
+1/4 cup of organic coconut oil
+ 1/2 cup of organic creamy peanut butter (Make sure the peanut butter DOES NOT contain xylitol, its super harmful to dogs)
+ 1 cup of organic unsweetened applesauce
+ 1 cup of organic pumpkin puree
+ 2 eggs

Dog Frosting
+ 2 cups of non fat plain greek yogurt
+ 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (add more for a thicker texture and stronger peanut butter flavor)
+ 8-10 strawberries for strawberry puree (pink frosting)

✨R E C I P E
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare pans for cake batter. Melt about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until melted. Grab three 6” pans and a silicone brush to brush the coconut oil along the inside and edges of each of the pans to the grease the pans. Set pans aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking soda and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, mix together coconut oil, peanut butter, applesauce, pumpkin puree, and eggs. Using a spatula, fold in almond flour mixture into wet mixture little by little, until both are fully combined.
5. Using a scooper, pour an even amount of the batter into each of the 6” pan.
6. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool. Swipe a butter knife along the edges of the pans to loosen the cakes from the pan.
7. Use a large ziplock bag to frost each layer each cake layer with your doggy frosting. Once you have frosted and stacked each cake layer, top with some adorable dog biscuits or a cake topper! (Our dog loved the biscuits!)

Dog Frosting
1. For Pink frosting: In a food processor, blend 8-10 strawberries until a thick puree like texture is formed. (Keep in mind you can also use a blender to puree your fruits. If you would prefer not to color your frosting, simply combine the greek yogurt with the peanut butter for a creamy frosting that will match the cake beautifully as well.)
2. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and about 10 tablespoons of the strawberry puree.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together greek yogurt, peanut butter and strawberry until you get your desired pink shade.

BLUEBERRY CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

The Crafty Gal Carla 2021-07-26 | ✨ I N G R E D I E N T S
Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding Recipe
+ 18.5 oz. of cubed croissants
+ 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar
+ 3/4 cup of white sugar
+ 5 large eggs
+ 1/4 teaspoon of salt
+ 4 cups of heavy cream
+ 3 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
+ 2 handfuls of blueberries on top
+ powdered sugar (for dusting)

Bourbon Sauce
+ 5 tablespoons of bourbon (or to taste)
+ 3/4 cup of brown sugar
+1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
+1/2 cup of unsalted butter
+ 1 cup of heavy cream
+1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

✨R E C I P E
1. Cut your croissants into 1 inch pieces.
2. If you are using a fresh croissants, toss your bread cubes into a pan and bake them at 250°F for 10 minutes. This will allow your bread to dry up so it can soak the wet mixture we will make. If you are using old bread, skip this step and simply set your cubes aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, vanilla bean paste OR vanilla bean extract, salt, and heavy cream. Whisk all ingredients until well combined.
4. Once croissant bread cubes are out of the oven and have been cooled, begin adding them to the wet mixture. Carefully fold the croissant cubes into the mixture making sure that all bread pieces are well soaked and submerged in the mixture. Set aside for at least about 2-3 hours. You can even let this sit overnight. The more time the bread has to soak up the mixture the better the bread pudding will taste.
5. Meanwhile, make the bourbon sauce and butter your 9x13inch casserole dish.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
7. Once the bread has absorbed most of the wet mixture and the bread is well soaked begin pouring bread into muffin pan. Evenly spread croissant cubes in pan as you place the bread into the pan and ensure they are tightly packed in. Top with fresh blueberries.
8. Bake for 1 hour or until fully cooked. Remove croissant bread pudding from oven and after it has cooled for about 10 minutes, lightly dust it with white powdered sugar.
9. Serve bread pudding for brunch with the bourbon sauce or for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as well! :)

Bourbon Sauce
1. In medium sauce pan, melt butter.
2. Pour in dark brown sugar, heavy cream and cinnamon, whisking well after each new addition.
3. Turn up heat and allow the sauce to come to a boil while whisking.
4. Let it boil for about 1 minute.
5. Remove from heat and pour in bourbon and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and enjoy! :)
