I am so excited to welcome Amy of The Idea Room to the blog today.  She was one of the first blogs I started following and has been a favorite ever since! She has a great recipe for you and a cute printable tag too. Be sure to visit her over at her blog to enter to win a Blendtec Blender and then check out what Mique and Cindy are sharing as part of the Craft and Sew!

I am so happy to be here today. I just love Leigh Anne, don’t you? My name is Amy and I can normally be found over at The Idea Room. Today I would love to share with you this delicious Orange Cranberry Bread Recipe. This recipe is the perfect Fall Bread and makes a great gift for neighbors and friends.

Orange-Cranberry-Bread 3

I love that this bread has a great texture and tastes delicious. The orange and cranberries give the bread a festive look which adds to the overall presentation. I found some fun paper loaf pans and used them to bake the Orange Cranberry Bread in. It would be fun to be able to give them to your friends and neighbors in these disposable loaf pans. You could also gift the bread in new mini loaf pans so that your friends can keep the mini loaf pans for their own use.

Orange-Cranberry-Bread 1

Simply take a brown paper bag and cut a 1.5 inch strip that will wrap around the bread and tape it on the bottom of the bread. Add some fun embellishments and one of the printable Holiday Gift Tags. Tie them and secure the embellishments in place with some ribbon or baker’s twine. To download the printable Holiday Gift Tags, simply click on the link below:

    Does it have to be margarine or can you use butter?
