Hi friends! Can you believe there are only two days left in 2019? With 2020 right around the corner, I wanted to dive into my analytics a bit to see what posts have proven most popular on Peanut Butter Fingers in 2019. I am really bad about looking at my analytics on a regular basis (great for my sanity but probably not for my business — haha!), however something about the end of the year spikes my curiosity and I always find it so interesting to see what YOU guys find most interesting!
I’ll share another roundup (or two?) of popular posts but wanted to begin by sharing a peek into my top 10 most popular recipes from the past year.
I broke them up into two categories — Most Popular Recipes Shared in 2019 and Most Popular Recipes in 2019. While the first category includes only brand new recipes I created and shared in 2019, the second category includes ALL recipes, not just those shared in 2019, for a glimpse into the most popular recipes from PBF that still claim top spots year after year.
I also like to take this time to ask all of you what you’d like to see more of when it comes to recipes I share on the blog in the coming year. Though I plan to stay true to sharing mostly EASY recipes, I’m absolutely open to requests if you guys have anything specific you’d like to see. Are you interested in more plant-based recipes? Crock pot creations? Grab-and-go breakfast ideas? Please let me know!

Overnight English Muffin Breakfast Casserole
If I ever need to look for motivation to be a better planner and share timely recipes on the blog, I need to remember the fact that this Overnight English Muffin Breakfast Casserole ended up being my most popular new recipe of 2019.

It’s SO good!
