Words by Em Armstrong & Sally McManus

Okay, so if don’t know about you…but I LOVE food! Wholesome, hearty and healthy delicious home cooked goodness. But I get that sometimes we lack a bit of excitement in the kitchen and just go back to the “usual suspects” of meat and veg…which we all know could do with a shake up…

Well, shake up I have!

I am SO excited to announce an exciting and delicious collaboration between Saltbush Stretch and The Homestead Pantry Box called “MOVE AND NOURISH”!

The beautiful Sally is one of our amazing Squad babes and I just had to get her onboard for our Cool, Calm and Connected Challenge as I know we could all use some inspo in the kitchen!

But before we jump too much further in, I wanted to let you know that YOU ALL (aka The Saltbush Squad babes) all have the chance to win one of Sal’s AMAZING 6-month Pantry Box Subscriptions.

Over the challenge Sal will be sharing six easy, delicious and nourishing recipes with us…all you need to do is cook the recipe, share a pic on social media and tag both @saltbushstretch and @thehomesteadpantrybox for your chance to win! YAY!

But enough about the boring stuff and more about Sal and her amazing business!

Let’s jump in.

Big love. Em xx

About Sal

I am an English country girl born and bred, now Australian wife and rural mother of 3 and have spent my whole life & career surrounded by food. My mum is an amazing cook who has shared her passion of cooking for others with me and it is to her credit that I will be forever known to my close friends as a feeder.

The saying “the kitchen is the heart of the home” for me couldn’t be truer. I cant think of a time growing up that meal times weren’t a crucial part of our social settings. When family or friends arrived at our house it became a ritual to first check what goodies were on offer in the fridge.

Eleven years ago, I made a trip to Australia for a year out and never went home. I met my husband James working on a property in far north Queensland where I was working as a camp cook. Through sponsorship I spent four years working there taking on the role of station cook and butcher while James studied at the other end of the country.

In the past 5 years we have been lucky enough to have three bundles of joy and it has made my life full, and whole lot busier. However, in 2018 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which has been a rollercoaster of a journey for us all. I have learnt that diet plays a huge role in supporting my health, and as a consequence I am particularly conscious of using honest, quality products personally and at the heart of my business. 

Which is how The Homestead Pantry Box was born…

What is the Homestead Pantry Box?

“We take the overwhelm out of your weekly meal planning, add a little zest and inspiration to make your everyday cook up a little less ordinary”.

The Homestead Pantry Box provides you with a bi-monthly box, filled with delicious 100% Australian-made products, to help add a little excitement to your standard meat and veg….No matter where you live in Australia and the more remote the better!

Along with the box of goodies, we provide you with:

So think of Hello Fresh for the bush…just way more delicious and you’re supporting a bush business and other Aussies farmers too, who are supplying their products in our amazing boxes.

What happens if I don't have the box for the challenge?

That’s fine! I know a lot of you within The Saltbush Squad won’t be a part of The Homestead Pantry Box…which is why I have provided substitutes for each recipe, so you can still cook and follow along at home!

But of course, if you want to be a part of The Homestead Pantry Box bi-annual subscription, Em has kindly popped a link below for you to join my family…or you can just get cooking in the challenge and hopefully you might be the lucky one to win the 6-month subscription!

I can’t wait to see you in the kitchen and stay tuned for our first recipe.

Sweet as Honey.
