I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>.

Can you tell us about that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started when I lost my job suddenly during 2001, right after September 11. I worked in the tourism industry; I was a dancer on cruise ships and in hotels. All of a sudden, I did not have money for food. One month I literally only had a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter for the whole month. There were some days when I was so hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was a volunteer doing musical theater at the time and nobody knew. It was hard to go out and try to look for jobs and present myself when I was living in my car and I was weak and exhausted. Fortunately, I was living in Hawaii at the time, so I could shower at the beach. It was really easy to hide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happened next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a part-time job at Starbucks and after I got my first paycheck I was able to find a teeny tiny apartment. It was actually a storage shed that had been turned into an apartment by adding a toilet and a refrigerator. Once I paid my rent, my cell phone bill, and electricity for the month I only had one or two dollars a day for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when I started living off the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jackinthebox.com/menu/product.php?prod_id=value-menu\">Dollar Menu at Jack in the Box\u003c/a>. I would have a chicken sandwich every morning on my way to work and then if I felt I could spare another dollar I'd have two tacos for dinner in the evening. And I ate that way for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you find yourself getting creative about where to find free food?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did. Fortunately in Hawaii there are a lot of fruit trees. My church had grapefruit and lychee trees. I knew all the different places around where there were trees I could pick fruit. I had friends who would say let's go out to eat and I would come just to tag along and say I wasn't really hungry and they'd let me finish up food they couldn't eat. That was also part of the reason I kept doing musical theater: We had potlucks all the time. And I was very blessed to have families in my church who would have me over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What turned things around for you on the food front?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was when a friend gave me a bag of groceries -- she knew me well enough to know I was struggling, although I don't think she knew just how much I was struggling -- and she also knew me well enough that she didn't just give me a bag of groceries. She said she and her husband had gone to the store on the same day and didn't realize it so they had extra food. She didn't want me to feel embarrassed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still remember what was in it: There were two cans of Dole pineapple, bell peppers, cans of beans, soy sauce, and much more. \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/02/how-i-learned-to-cook-with-almost-no-money/\">I wrote it all down, it's on my site.\u003c/a> I was able to cook for myself for a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt so much better that week when I was eating real food instead of fast food. And that's when the light bulb went on for me: What if I take my $7-10 dollars a week to the grocery store? And so I became kind of a student of the grocery store, trying to figure out how to stretch my money, especially in a place like Hawaii, which is astronomically expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I signed up for every free club card. At Starbucks, when people would throw out their newspapers, I would fish them out of the bin and search for coupons. I would look at all the discard bins in the store where they put things on sale because they're dented or about to expire and shop there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the start of my journey learning to cook by using what I had or what was on sale. i had a lot of failures: The worst one was when I tried to use the buttermilk ranch dressing from Jack in the Box with ramen noodles and peas to try to make some kind of pasta. It was terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also had some really great successes, like using the same ramen noodles with some soy sauce packets from a local sushi place -- I couldn't afford sushi but I would go in and take their soy sauce packets and honey packets from a fast food place -- and I used that to make something like a teriyaki sauce. And I'd toss that with some frozen or canned vegetables in a stir fry, maybe with some Spam (Spam is really big in Hawaii). I started with really bare bones stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned how to slowly build a pantry. For example, if I only spent $7 one week, and was able to save $3, I'd have enough to buy a big bottle of soy sauce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" title=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45209\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson focuses on whole foods that nourish like this dish for \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/11/maple-orange-carrots-recipe/\">Orange Maple Carrots\u003c/a>.

After reading about it on my blog, my mom did let on that when she came out to visit back then she was very concerned. She told my dad that I was malnourished: She could just see it in my skin, eyes, and hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I wouldn't have taken their help. At the time we didn't have a good relationship. I was running away from hurts in my life and still hadn't gotten to a place of self-acceptance to be able to then figure out how I fit with the rest of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you start blogging about eating on a budget?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband Eric and I met in Washington at church when I was visiting for my sister's college graduation. Three months after I moved there in 2006 we started dating. We actually got married a year to the day after our first date. He would ask me to cook things over again and because I didn't follow recipes, I would type them up on my personal blog -- I called it Dianasaur Dishes -- just so I could keep track of things. I would often put how we saved money on a recipe because we were still on a tight budget -- we made $12,000 between us for the first year we were married. We had about $100 a month for food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you change the name of your blog recently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I chose Eating Richly because I wanted to focus on foods that are rich in both nutrients and flavor. I made the shift a few months ago. Dianasaur Dishes was just for me. But when people started telling me how helpful it was I realized that my blog wasn't just for me, it was for others too, and I really wanted to have a title that better described what the blog does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric and I decided it was something we wanted to work on together as well. Dianasaur Dishes was mine. Eating Richly is ours. That's really important to me. He jokes he's the CTO: Chief technical officer. He's also my chief recipe tester and dish washer. And he also does videos: We shoot them together and he edits them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you still cook on a budget at home and how do you cook now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're still very frugal: Yes, we're both earning and between the two of us, we were able to buy a house -- a foreclosure -- but money is still tight. We also host two exchange students -- they're teenage boys, they eat a lot -- so for the four of us we budget $400 a month on groceries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make most things from scratch now. I still have a few short-cut items that I'll buy like frozen ravioli -- the kind that are healthy, all natural, and ingredients that I recognize.

Photo: Heather Johnson\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Hunger is really personal for you. Can you tell us about that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started when I lost my job suddenly during 2001, right after September 11. I worked in the tourism industry; I was a dancer on cruise ships and in hotels. All of a sudden, I did not have money for food. One month I literally only had a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter for the whole month. There were some days when I was so hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was a volunteer doing musical theater at the time and nobody knew. It was hard to go out and try to look for jobs and present myself when I was living in my car and I was weak and exhausted. Fortunately, I was living in Hawaii at the time, so I could shower at the beach. It was really easy to hide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happened next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a part-time job at Starbucks and after I got my first paycheck I was able to find a teeny tiny apartment. It was actually a storage shed that had been turned into an apartment by adding a toilet and a refrigerator. Once I paid my rent, my cell phone bill, and electricity for the month I only had one or two dollars a day for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when I started living off the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jackinthebox.com/menu/product.php?prod_id=value-menu\">Dollar Menu at Jack in the Box\u003c/a>. I would have a chicken sandwich every morning on my way to work and then if I felt I could spare another dollar I'd have two tacos for dinner in the evening. And I ate that way for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you find yourself getting creative about where to find free food?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did. Fortunately in Hawaii there are a lot of fruit trees. My church had grapefruit and lychee trees. I knew all the different places around where there were trees I could pick fruit. I had friends who would say let's go out to eat and I would come just to tag along and say I wasn't really hungry and they'd let me finish up food they couldn't eat. That was also part of the reason I kept doing musical theater: We had potlucks all the time. And I was very blessed to have families in my church who would have me over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What turned things around for you on the food front?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was when a friend gave me a bag of groceries -- she knew me well enough to know I was struggling, although I don't think she knew just how much I was struggling -- and she also knew me well enough that she didn't just give me a bag of groceries. She said she and her husband had gone to the store on the same day and didn't realize it so they had extra food. She didn't want me to feel embarrassed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still remember what was in it: There were two cans of Dole pineapple, bell peppers, cans of beans, soy sauce, and much more. \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/02/how-i-learned-to-cook-with-almost-no-money/\">I wrote it all down, it's on my site.\u003c/a> I was able to cook for myself for a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt so much better that week when I was eating real food instead of fast food. And that's when the light bulb went on for me: What if I take my $7-10 dollars a week to the grocery store? And so I became kind of a student of the grocery store, trying to figure out how to stretch my money, especially in a place like Hawaii, which is astronomically expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I signed up for every free club card. At Starbucks, when people would throw out their newspapers, I would fish them out of the bin and search for coupons. I would look at all the discard bins in the store where they put things on sale because they're dented or about to expire and shop there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the start of my journey learning to cook by using what I had or what was on sale. i had a lot of failures: The worst one was when I tried to use the buttermilk ranch dressing from Jack in the Box with ramen noodles and peas to try to make some kind of pasta. It was terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also had some really great successes, like using the same ramen noodles with some soy sauce packets from a local sushi place -- I couldn't afford sushi but I would go in and take their soy sauce packets and honey packets from a fast food place -- and I used that to make something like a teriyaki sauce. And I'd toss that with some frozen or canned vegetables in a stir fry, maybe with some Spam (Spam is really big in Hawaii). I started with really bare bones stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned how to slowly build a pantry. For example, if I only spent $7 one week, and was able to save $3, I'd have enough to buy a big bottle of soy sauce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" title=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45209\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson focuses on whole foods that nourish like this dish for \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/11/maple-orange-carrots-recipe/\">Orange Maple Carrots\u003c/a>.

After reading about it on my blog, my mom did let on that when she came out to visit back then she was very concerned. She told my dad that I was malnourished: She could just see it in my skin, eyes, and hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I wouldn't have taken their help. At the time we didn't have a good relationship. I was running away from hurts in my life and still hadn't gotten to a place of self-acceptance to be able to then figure out how I fit with the rest of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you start blogging about eating on a budget?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband Eric and I met in Washington at church when I was visiting for my sister's college graduation. Three months after I moved there in 2006 we started dating. We actually got married a year to the day after our first date. He would ask me to cook things over again and because I didn't follow recipes, I would type them up on my personal blog -- I called it Dianasaur Dishes -- just so I could keep track of things. I would often put how we saved money on a recipe because we were still on a tight budget -- we made $12,000 between us for the first year we were married. We had about $100 a month for food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you change the name of your blog recently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I chose Eating Richly because I wanted to focus on foods that are rich in both nutrients and flavor. I made the shift a few months ago. Dianasaur Dishes was just for me. But when people started telling me how helpful it was I realized that my blog wasn't just for me, it was for others too, and I really wanted to have a title that better described what the blog does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric and I decided it was something we wanted to work on together as well. Dianasaur Dishes was mine. Eating Richly is ours. That's really important to me. He jokes he's the CTO: Chief technical officer. He's also my chief recipe tester and dish washer. And he also does videos: We shoot them together and he edits them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you still cook on a budget at home and how do you cook now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're still very frugal: Yes, we're both earning and between the two of us, we were able to buy a house -- a foreclosure -- but money is still tight. We also host two exchange students -- they're teenage boys, they eat a lot -- so for the four of us we budget $400 a month on groceries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make most things from scratch now. I still have a few short-cut items that I'll buy like frozen ravioli -- the kind that are healthy, all natural, and ingredients that I recognize. Sometimes I'll get home and we've had stir fry three times in a row, (it's my go-to 15-minute meal), so we'll boil a pot of water and throw in some ravioli. We like very simple foods. We make lots of frittatas, omelets and salads. We eat sandwiches for lunch almost every day, we slice our own lunch meal--roast beef or turkey breast. I make my own mustard and pickles.

On Thanksgiving, most of us will be inundated with turkey, potatoes, and pie. The idea of an empty belly seems incongruous to the day itself. But for many families, it's a sober reality. In San Francisco alone, over 150,000 people lack the resources to feed themselves and their families.

I was surprised and excited to hear that 50% of the foods provided by the Alameda County Community Food Bank are fresh fruits and vegetables. This is possible because of a network of local growers and distributors who provide year-round greens, sweet potatoes, and citrus to the food bank for literally pennies per item.
