Crock-pot Pork with Cabbage

Well, it's not corned beef but this is what my family will be having this Saint Patrick's Day. Juicy pork shoulder roast, red cabbage sweetened with a kiss of brown sugar and a side of mashed potatoes. It brings me such joy when I find a recipe that is already gluten free. Don't get me wrong I love tweaking recipes to make them gluten free. However, when I find a recipe that is gluten free to begin with it reminds me of the many, many foods that have always been and will always will be gluten free. Too Shakespearean, sorry!
