Goat cheese- had to buy
raspberries- yes, we have plants in the back yard
thyme- yes, I grow basil, thyme, oregano and parsley
Puff pastry- I had some left over, but had to buy.

Goat cheese is available pretty much any grocery store. Even Walmart. I usually make a more involved dinner on Friday nights so I try to plan ahead as much as possible. Always check local resources like farmers markets and such. Even though I live in Podunk, NC (aka Fluffy Edge of Doom) I found local providers of goat cheese, meat, and blueberries!

Here's a tip I got from a muffin cookbook: freeze the uncooked batter.

Put muffin cups in muffin pan. Foil are the best, though they can be hard to find. When I find them, I buy several.

Spoon the batter into the cups. Usually, that would be about 2/3 full.

Place pan in the freezer. When totally frozen, remove muffins from pan and place in freezer bag. I like to put a thin piece of cardboard in the bag.

Bake one or two or how many you want at the same temperature, increasing the time 5 minutes more than the original.

A dozen frozen muffins make a gift, too!

The original is the "normal" baking time (usually 10-12 min,)?

Thanks,

Yes, whatever the recipe calls for! If it calls for 20 minutes, bake 25,

If it calls for 10, bake for for 15, etc.
