 * Hi jecn100,
    So sorry for the delay! Unfortunately there isn’t an option for 
   this within the free theme. In premium you could do this using a shortcode. A
   plugin like this may get you what you want- [https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/)
