From CNBC Make It.

When Elizabeth Stein started her natural food company, Purely Elizabeth, in 2009, she sold muffin and pancake mixes made with ancient grains. But it wasn’t until 2011, after cooking a batch of homemade granola for her mom, that her company really took off. The company that began in one woman’s kitchen now brings in $147 million a year in sales.
