Flourless Tahini Brownies

I started Coconut Kate three years ago as an outlet for my obsessions — cooking and coconut being top among them.  What began as a way to share my foodie experiences with others has since grown in ways I could never have imagined. While Coconut Kate will always be a destination for food, fun, and inspiration, it's also a place for curiosity, community, and conversation. From motherhood to fertility to mental and physical wellness, I want to explore topics near and dear to my heart — and share my insights where possible.

Thank you so much for being here. I hope you'll sit and stay awhile. 

I'm a full-time mother, marketer, and content creator living in the Pacific Northwest.
