How to Code a Grab Button for Blog Posts
Written by: Anyonita Green on
One of the things I get asked to help out with most is creating grab buttons for my fellow bloggers. For some reason this necessary blog item seems shrouded in mystery and approached tentatively.
But there's no need, guys. Creating a grab button is easy peasy! By the end of this tutorial, you'll be a dab hand at it, too! I'm going to show you how to code a grab button for your blog or website.
This code should work with Blogger, Wordpress and any website where you have access to the HTML.
In terms of location, you can put the code anywhere you have access to the HTML: in blog posts, footers and sidebars or even in the body of your marketing emails. Let's get on it!
Gluten Free Boxing Day Jewelled Rice
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
This delicious rice dish is perfect for using up leftover turkey! Serve it as a hot main course or a cold salad.
Serves 8
In all honesty, we made this dish using leftover Thanksgiving turkey, but will most likely recreate it in the days after Christmas, too. You can plan to serve this dish cold as a salad or hot as a main or side dish. It was so hearty and filing that we ate it as a main course.If you want to serve it cold, make it with olive oil instead of butter.
This recipe was adapted from Good Food magazine.
Boxing Day Jewelled Rice
Turkey is the best thing about Christmas. Hands down, no question. But by the third day or so, I get a bit turkeyed out. This easy rice dish is a delicious and versatile way to use up leftover turkey this holiday season! It echoes the flavors of a traditional Christmas meal with cranberries, orange juice and zest. The flaked almonds add a nice crunch, as does the delicate bite of wild rice.In all honesty, we made this dish using leftover Thanksgiving turkey, but will most likely recreate it in the days after Christmas, too.

Gluten Free Brown Sugar Baked Wings with Red Pepper Ricotta Sauce Recipe
Monday, December 16, 2013
These brown sugar wings are baked to perfection and served with slightly spicy red pepper ricotta dip! Perfect for tailgating or parties!
Serves at least 4
This recipe was inspired by a popular Pinterest wings dish that calls for goat cheese instead of ricotta. I'm not a fan of goat's cheese but I really wanted to make try the red pepper sauce so, out came the ricotta! It works beautifully, I think. These wings have a secret ingredient in them that will have everyone coming back for me: smoked paprika. If you've not discovered the amazing umami powers of smoked paprika, be prepared for an amazing explosion of flavor.

Gluten Free White Spaghetti with Prosciutto Recipe
Friday, December 13, 2013
Spaghetti is dressed in a rich sauce of butter, cream and milk and tossed with lots of pepper and a sprinkling of prosciutto in this elegant pasta dish!
Serves 4
This would make an excellent dish when you have company--not a dinner party dish, necessarily, but when you find yourself unexpectedly entertaining. You could swap the prosciutto for flaked fresh tuna or boiled paper-thin discs of new potatoes. I know what you're thinking, potatoes and pasta?! Sacrebleu! But trust me, it would taste phenomenal.
Back to the recipe, though, you'll love this spaghetti. The punch of garlic, the ballsy pepper and the sweet cream and milk and rich butter...they all combine to make an indulgent plate of comfort food.
White Spaghetti with Prosciutto
This White Spaghetti is one of those quick dishes that I reach for when we need something wholesome and filling in a hurry. It's a nod to spaghetti carbonara, but it's different in itself. I love the flavor of the smoked garlic with the cream and then all the pepper makes it slightly fiery and very sophisticated. The cheese helps to keep little ones interested and the prosciutto adds a nice touch of salt without being overpowering.This would make an excellent dish when you have company--not a dinner party dish, necessarily, but when you find yourself unexpectedly entertaining.

Gluten Free Tipsy Caramel Apple Popcorn with Apple-Infused Vodka Recipe
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Sweet apple leather, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and a syrup of apple-infused vodka coat freshly popped popcorn in this delicious sweet and salty treat!
Serves 2 to 4
If you want to do this recipe justice, there's a bit of advanced prep required for the apple-infused vodka and for the apple leather. I left my vodka and apples infusing for a month for using it in this recipe. Alternatively, Apple Bite vodka would work if you're in a pinch.
I made this for an afternoon snack but it'll go down well at a Christmas party or even, if you package it nicely, as a Christmas present! I popped my own popcorn for this recipe, but if you prefer, it tastes just as well with microwave popcorn. Just make sure your get sweet and not buttery or salty popcorn. And while this recipe contains alcohol, the cooking of the syrup burns off the alcohol. However, you may decide to reserve this specific batch of popcorn as an adults only treat.
Tipsy Caramel Apple Popcorn with Apple-Infused Vodka
Popcorn is one of my go-to treats. I'm not sure what it is about it, but ever since I was a child, I was obsessed by it and always looked forward to devouring those multi-flavor popcorn tins at Christmastime. This tipsy caramel apple popcorn is a more sophisticated approach on a childhood favorite treat. Delicious popcorn gets dressed in a sweet combo of cinnamon, vanilla sugar and apple vodka syrup. Scatter over some homemade apple leather pieces and you've got a classic on your hands.If you want to do this recipe justice, there's a bit of advanced prep required for the apple-infused vodka and for the apple leather.
