Cranberry Cornmeal Quick Bread

hmmm where are the cranberries?.....


here I am!! beneath the loaf! ^.*


Wonder why the western called this quick bread? Maybe it is baked in a loaf pan and shape like a loaf of bread?? hehehe but it does not have a bread texture. This cranberry cornmeal quick bread is very moist and buttery, and it is a beautiful loaf with fresh cranberries embedded at the bottom!
