I was looking through pictures from pass port and just choose these two pictures too compare too. Later that day we both started shooting in ISO 400 because of clouds and rain.
Now you have a good idea where to start looking for the differences. Knowledge is power!

Just tell her she is a better photographer than you and move on...It may earn you some brownie points!

Nikon D7100 with 18-200 lens Noticed during a trip to the mountains a lot of my photos where way too bright. My wife has the same camera & lens that I have. And our cameras are setup identical & her pictures where a lot better than mind. We where shooting in aperture priority. Got home & did test side by side & notice her camera is metering darker than mind. Do I need to send in for repair or make some kinda ajustment?
Do the 7100's have active d-lighting? Make sure that both camera's active d-lighting are turned off. Set up for spot metering. Find a subject that has a constant consistent light source. Then point each camera with the same lens at the spot and see what the camera's metering wants you to set for f/stop using identical iso and speed. Does each camera give you the same?

That's my guess, although it only kicks in if you are shooting new (raw). I had the same problem once, it drove me nuts.

For starters, do you both have the exposure compensation set the same? Do you have the white balance set the same? It sounds to me like the exposure compensation is set differently on each camera.
