Even though the holidays are over, there are still times to enjoy Cranberry Orange Nut Bread. Quick breads are easy and are good for a quick breakfast, snacks with a glass of milk, or time to relax with a steaming cup of coffee or tea, after you come in from shoveling.. Baking is a good way to warm your heart and soul, especially when the weather is snowy and cold. Today it seems, that is most of the country. So turn on oven, and bake something, even if you don't bake that often, whether or (weather) it be simple or complex. You can bake breads, muffins, cookies cakes, pies, brownies, etc., and just smell the wonderful flavors wafting from your kitchen. Just see how warm and wonderful you feel, when you bake with love, and share your creation with the ones that you love, or give away to a friend or neighbor.
