I never thought I’d actually say it. I never thought it would be me. As my wife has obsessed over Pinterest the past few months, I became increasingly angry with the latest craze in social media. Then it happened. The moment that changed my mind about Pinterest forever.

I came home from a long day of golfing (it’s a rough life, I know) to find that my wife had prepared dinner. I asked what we were having for dinner. With a large proud smile on her face, she said, “I made a taco braid.” “Huh,” I asked? You see, my wife isn’t known for great cooking. In fact, she’s known for quite the opposite.

I took one look at the Taco Braid and knew it was going to be delicious. Sure enough, it hit the spot! Thanks to Pinterest, my wife has stumbled upon some amazing recipes. This entire week has been filled with amazing meals that make the entire family happy. Last night, a homemade mac and cheese casserole that was amazing.

I have Pinterest to thank for my newfound love of my wife’s cooking. In fact, my entire family should be thanking Pinterest! So without further ado, here’s the recipe that started it all:

Thanks to 3 Moms and a Kitchen for this awesome recipe!
