The combination of cold weather and quality time with loved ones creates the perfect opportunity for trying out new recipes that everyone will talk about for the rest of the year. It’s particularly a time when we crave foods that remind us of childhood and have that warm, gooey comforting element. Sara Lee Artesano Cinnamon Bread is the perfect base ingredient for experimenting in the kitchen with foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Sweet Loaves are an extension of the already popular Artesano line, which consisted of Original, Golden Wheat, Brioche and Potato. Now, the brand America loves and trusts for all things bread has added Cinnamon and Maple & Brown Sugar varieties to the list.

MADAMENOIRE shines the spotlight on a fresh take of a classic meal: the grilled cheese sandwich. Food stylist and Chef Brittney Williams, seen on The Food Network, created this sweet, savory and crispy sandwich using the Sara Lee Artesano Cinnamon Bread. It’s like a hybrid between a grilled cheese, a BLT and a breakfast sandwich.
