Ms. Judge is an oncology dietitian, and topics on her blog range from healthy snacks for kids to Fab Five lists, which are quick and simple lists of ways to improve your diet.<\/p>\n<p>Cranberries are a seasonal treat, but if this recipe was to be made in the summer good swaps would be raspberries or blueberries.\u00a0 Heck, you could even make these breads in the winter!\u00a0 There are a few things that we discovered while baking this recipe.\u00a0 First, it is very important to cream the sugar and butter well before adding the orange juice or eggs.\u00a0 Also, the whole wheat flour tends to be a little dense, so sifting the flour beforehand may be beneficial.\u00a0 These two tips will ensure the bread is light and fluffy when it comes out of the oven.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Readers, I highly suggest you purchase the game <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bananagrams.com\/\">Bananagrams<\/a>.\u00a0 I think I\u2019m late picking up on this pop culture phenomenon, but man it was an addicting time at the Test Kitchen last week.\u00a0 We must have played for 45 minutes straight.\u00a0 Seriously, buy it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<a href=\"\/sargentchoice\/files\/2013\/11\/hands.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/scnc\/files\/2015\/03\/hands-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"hands-300x168\" class=\" size-full wp-image-1302 alignright\" height=\"168\" width=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups whole wheat flour<\/li>\n<li>1 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>\u00be cup orange juice<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<li>1 large egg beaten<\/li>\n<li>1 12- oz bag fresh or frozen cranberries<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup chopped walnuts (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Directions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350\u02daF.<\/li>\n<li>Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li>In a separate bowl, mix sugar, orange juice, butter and egg until completely combined.<\/li>\n<li>Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.\u00a0 Stir in cranberries and nuts.<\/li>\n<li>Bake in greased loaf pan for 55-65 minutes until inserted knife comes out clean.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\r\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\"><img class=\"nuginfdcxekbhomzjsxe\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pin_it_button.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sargentchoice\/disclaimer\/\"><i>Disclaimer:<\/i><\/a><i> The Sargent Choice blog includes links to other websites only as information to consumers, not as medical advice.
