This White Chocolate Cranberry Orange Bread is just perfect for weekend brunches!  Bakes up nicely, has a cake-like texture and sweetness from the white chocolate morsels and the OJ. The fresh cranberries pop in just a tiny punch of tart!
Not entirely sure where this recipe came from, I've been making it a very long time and most likely ripped out of a magazine or a grocery store recipe book.  So delicious, this quick bread pairs nicely with a cup of coffee and a relaxing morning! This is a recipe that you'll find yourself making over and over and is ideal for the holiday season!
