Summary
J Ballentine is a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and chef raised by two Italian parents in upstate New York. Food is an important tradition in Italian households, and it laid a strong foundation for founding Pure Cravings. “When we went paleo, I felt tremendously better,” says Ballentine. “I had always struggled with stomach problems my whole life, and no one could ever really figure out what I was allergic to or what I was sensitive to. When we did this, it was a night and day difference.” Her own experience fed into her passion of having a business of creating these types of meals for people.
