* Put on a pair of disposable latex or Nitrile gloves and coat ribs with spice mixture.
* Place meat upright (like books on a shelf) inside a 6 qt. crock pot.
* Cook for 8 hours on High.
* Or place ribs in a roasting pan, cover and bake at 325 degrees for 2+ hours until tender.
* Remove meat from crock pot or roasting pan to a serving platter.
* Add a steamed vegetable or two and enjoy a perfectly Paleo meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack!

** Refrigerate leftovers in single serving, glass storage containers for 'Grab-n-Go' meals the next day.
