Posts from the Past: 2012!

It's December 31st and before we look forward to a new year, we're taking a look back...

I have to say it's been an excellent year. Don't you agree? 2012 has had its ups and downs but for myself and the team at Webber Naturals, and hopefully for all of you, 2012 has had plenty more ups than downs!

With great new content coming up on our website everyday, it's easy for articles from even last week to get completely buried in the archives. Even though the sun is setting on this year, let's dig up those buried posts and take a look back at 2012. Here are some fun and informative posts from this past year...

It's Tasty Tuesday and we're thinking grilled cheese sandwiches!

Forget the boring grilled cheese. Try this beet, arugula and goat cheese number instead!

It's Tasty Tuesday: the day I get to blog about delicious and healthy recipes to share with you. It just so happens that this Tasty Tuesday I have such a sore throat that I can't enjoy my food. But let me live vicariously through you wonderful Webber fans. Today, if you are in the mood for something tasty, something fancy and yet easy to make, you should make a grilled cheese sandwich.

How about a beet, arugula and goat cheese grilled cheese?! Siblings Bob and Carlene, writers behind their food blog, BS' In The Kitchen, share their delicious new spin on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy!

Check out how our team tore it up at this year's Five Hole for Food event in Vancouver!

For some of you, the Five Hole for Food (FHFF) tour may now be just a distant memory (especially for those of you who participated in the games on the East Coast). However, as we wanted to share the fun that we had at Vancouver's FHFF event (and we only recently acquired our photo coverage) we thought, "Better late than never!"

The day was almost three weeks ago exactly. The weather started off by being questionable at best (think looming, grey clouds) - however, by the time the corporate game that webber naturals was scheduled to play in rolled around, the sun was not only out, but shining.

Our team (including employees and their families) arrived one by one, each carrying several bags of food donations that we had collected from webber naturals employees. We then gathered round the FHFF Chevrolet that had driven the FHFF team across Canada and took a photo with CEO and founder, Richard Loat (see above, right picture!). And then, the game began!

The game lasted about an hour and was capped off with a shoot out. All in all, the day was just plain awesome.

We would like to congratulate FHFF for smashing through their goal of raising 100,000 pounds of food (they raised over 133,000 pounds!) and thank them for such a fun-filled day. We look forward to seeing you again in 2013!
