Easy-Peasy crockpot recipes (gluten free, paleo)

If you think crockpots are so 1992, you are mistaken and missing out!!  I often get home after 7:00pm and not having to make dinner at that time makes life much easier.  It takes just a few minutes in the morning to throw everything in and out the door you go!

Both of these recipes also work great as leftovers - over salads, in tacos with avocado, spinach, and tomatoes, or even nachos for the husband and kids.
