Cheddar cheese and cranberries may seem like an unusual combination for a quick bread, but they actually could not be more perfect together. This easy to make bread is simply amazing. Paring cranberries, orange, almond, and spices with the sharp flavor of cheddar cheese, this one is an absolute winner.
