Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Lunch at University of Alaska Fairbanks

On my trip to the Oscar Mayer / Kraft Foods headquarters this summer, I was able to enjoy fantastic Deli Fresh gourmet sandwiches made with fresh veggies, great condiments, cheeses of all kinds, and – of course- Deli Fresh lunch meats by Oscar Mayer.  The sandwiches were delicious and building them was fun, too.

As parents, we worry about our kids having healthy ingredients in their lunches, but do we go to the same lengths for ourselves?  Are we really taking healthy lunches to work, or do we think it takes too much time?

After spending time at the Kraft Kitchens, I realized that making healthy sandwiches with fresh ingredients wasn’t as much work as I made it out to be in my mind.  By creating a “sandwich drawer” in my refrigerator, which I’ve stocked with all the necessary sandwich fixings, I’ve made it convenient for my family to make healthy sandwiches for lunches or snacks.

Keeping this idea going:  Oscar Mayer asked me to share the healthy sandwich good news by having a sandwich building party with my friends at the University of Alaska’s Office of Information Technology (OIT)!

Running the technology department for a university is a demanding job, and the men and women in the department don’t have a lot of free time to go hunt down the pieces of a healthy lunch during their lunch break.  That’s why we brought the fresh, healthy ingredients to them!

The perfect ingredients (shown at right):  fresh baked French bread, Kraft Miracle Whip, Deli Fresh Swiss cheese, baby spinach, Kraft Singles low fat American cheese, and a variety of new flavors of Oscar Mayer’s Deli Fresh lunch meats.

Here is a sandwich one of the computer techs made (yes, we actually got a photo before it was eaten) sitting in front of an iMac monitor!

The hungry techs descended upon the Deli Fresh table as soon as we set it up…

and my husband built a Deli Fresh turkey and pepperjack cheese sandwich for himself to enjoy!

My thanks go out to James Elieff for allowing Oscar Mayer to provide the OIT staff with a healthy, Deli Fresh sandwich lunch, courtesy of Kraft Foods!
