Paleo Cuban Crock Pot Ropa Vieja served with No Grain Cauliflower Rice

For those of you who know me, you know I am a fiery and LOUD Cuban Woman! And what do fiery, LOUD Cuban woman like? Salsa Dancing and tight pants, yes of course, but what we love most is…FOOD! Cuban food is not always healthy so I was super excited when I came across this yummy Paleo Cuban Crock Pot Ropa Vieja recipe. It was a great healthy spin off the traditional Ropa Vieja that my Mom and Grandmother used to make (Recipe to come, promise). “Ropa Vieja” is Spanish for “old clothes” and the beef in the recipe is so tender that it falls off and shreds like old, ratty clothes.  Try this yummy Healthy Paleo Cuban Crock Pot Rope Vieja; it is to die for. Your family and your thighs will thank me. Buen provecho!

I served it with my No Grain Cauliflower Rice! Yum!
