The Food Factor: Top 5 Posts for 2019

To wrap up 2019, we wanted to share with you our most popular posts this year.

It's always fun to see what resonates with our food-loving friends. We strive to share recipes we think are healthy, fun, and realistic -- no 25-ingredient recipes here! (Well, there is recipe for Cook's Choice Muffins, but it has 21 ingredients, not 25!)

We hope you'll make some time during the holidays to try at least one of these recipes, and look forward to sharing new content with you in 2020!

This recipe was one of the most shared in the show's history. Everyone seemed eager to make it and it was a hit with our colleagues. Tuck this low-calorie, quick-and-easy dessert into your files -- it's a winner!

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

We love it when one of our healthy, time-saving recipes is a hit with our viewers, and even more when it uses locally grown produce. Whether you use fresh or frozen blueberries, this breakfast is such a treat your family will forget it's good for them!

From everyone on The Food Factor crew, we wish you a holiday season and new year filled with joy.
