Are you ready to be wowed? If so, get your apron on and make this stinkin’ orange cream cheese bread right now! You are just going to have to try this recipe out for yourself to see what all the hubbub is about. My kids helped me with this recipe but I think they ate more batter than what we actually baked. My loaf looked a little small ha! This is a  wonderful bread to make on a cold winter’s day when you’re bored and freezing.

I don’t really like nuts so I left them out of this recipe plus my youngest child has a tree nut allergy. However, this bread still came out amazing!
