Vegan Orange-Cranberry Bread

Sometimes I look around my kitchen and realize that I need to go shopping.
There's not much left.
But I don't have time and I really don't want go out again when I've just gotten home.
But there's nothing.
No chocolate chips.
No chips of any kind...
So I guess cookies are out, at least chocolate chip or any kind of chip are out of question.
So what am I going to make for the fence build?

Hunting through my kitchen,
I was thinking about sweet breads...
What, or what could I make?
Then, I saw the answer...CRANBERRIES!
Thank goodness I always keep dried fruits on hand.
Once I saw the cranberries, I knew exactly what to make..
Orange-Cranberry Bread.
Delicious!

If you're like me and keep a variety of fruit on hand,
then sweet breads are a easy solution to a baking dilemma.
And to make every tummy happy,
I make it vegan.
