Happy Recipe ReDux Day! For some of you that do not know, the Recipe ReDux was founded by three Registered Dietitians (Regan Jones, Serena Ball, and Deanna Segrave-Daly). The intent of the ReDux is to take recipes and reinvent them with a healthy twist to inspire healthy eating! The Recipe ReDux is made up of members who are specifically healthy food bloggers. On the first day of each month the monthly blogging theme is released BUT must be kept a secret until your designed blog posting day.
On the 21st and 22nd of each month, all of the group members post our Recipe ReDux recipe on our blogs and include links to all of the other member’ blog posts for that theme as well. SO FUN! It is kind of like we get to bomb social media for 2 days with a similar theme and it is fun to see how all of the other bloggers got creative with the theme.
With that being said…the November 2015 Recipe ReDux theme is as follows:
Creative Quick Breads
“The holiday baking season is upon us. And this month we’re going way beyond grandma’s banana bread. From sweet to savory and whole-grain to gluten-free, show us your new quick bread creation fresh from the oven. And if you have a tip for wrapping and giving your lovely loaf, please share that too!”
When I first read the title – “Creative Quick Breads” I immediately wanted to make a banana bread – and so did probably most of the other bloggers too! Then I continued to read the description and they were looking for something a little more creative. Which is totally fine since there are a ba-jillion quick bread recipes I could come up with!
So – I had some cranberries in the pantry and thought it would make for a perfect holiday quick bread.
You cannot go wrong with the sweetness from the oranges too, the flavor combo is scrumptious.
