Brownie Batter Dip

Hey everyone, hope you had a good Sunday-funday.  We spent our day with our best friends tailgating, watching our beloved Vikes play horribly, and watching more football.  I’ve got another tailgate/hosting friendly recipe for you all and it’s AHHHHmazing.  Brownie batter dip aka heaven.  Due to the copious amounts of adult beverages that tend to be consumed while tailgating, I lightened up the recipe a bit…because lets be honest, the last thing you want is to add unnecessary calories, AND… Read more »

Pepperoni Pizza Bites

Hey guys!  Sorry I disappeared for a week there…I was in Canada visiting with my family and attending my cousins wedding (which was beautiful, congratulations to Fallon & Wesley D’Souza!) Any ways… the best time of year is among us–football season.  We all know what that means…tailgating and watching games.  Since Eric got a new 60″ for his birthday, we’ve been having our friends over for the games (aka I get to make appetizers and snacky things for everyone to… Read more »

Low Carb Baked Coconut Shrimp

Ok, so I’m going to preface this with this post by saying this Low Carb Baked Coconut Shrimp may be the best thing I have EVER made in my life.  Eric agrees, this is by far his favorite dish I have ever made (he ate leftovers for breakfast because he couldn’t wait until lunch to eat them.)  I brought them in to eat for lunch and I knew my coworker, Tasha, liked coconut shrimp, but I didn’t know how much. … Read more »

Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Sweet Chili Garlic Sauce

So Eric and I have been wanting to do lettuce wraps for dinner for a while now and I am huge fan of the Thai beef lettuce wraps at Big Bowl.  I did a search on Pinterest for a Thai lettuce wrap and it provided me with a bunch!  Since we’ve been trying to eat less red meat, I substituted the sirloin, called for in the recipe for ground turkey.  I also changed a few of the ingredients to make… Read more »

Roasted Parmesean Green Beans

So green beans are most definitely one of my favorite vegetables. Hands down.  I’m also a huge lover of cheese….every kind, on anything and everything, I love it all.  I typically just saute my green beans with garlic and olive oil, but when I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe, I knew I had to give it a try.  It’s super simple, requires few ingredients, and makes for a quick side. **Note: I’m one of those people who likes… Read more »

Spicy Honey Chicken

Ok, so this recipe is, hands down, one of mine and Eric’s favorite recipes found on pinterest (my coworker, Tasha also loves this recipe–I brought in leftovers after I made it the first time and she fell in love with it and has since made it a few times as well.)  Now, I’m not usually someone who likes to have sweet and spicy (or any other flavor really) mixed with each other, but this chicken is AHHHH-mazing.  It definitely has… Read more »

Welcome!

Well hello, pretties! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I’m so excited to start this adventure, and am so glad you’re taking it with me! I thought I’d start by telling you a little about The Pinterest Wife, why I started it, and what you will find here. I got married a year ago today to my high school sweetheart and was thrust into a world completely unknown to me. Growing up, I was a 3 sport athlete and… Read more »
