I can't believe I am announcing already for May 2016! Where have all the days disappeared! I know mine were spent trying to cook for the April Mega BM that's going to start shortly and with kids school and vacation.
Anyway, let me go ahead with the announcement for May 2016.
Anyway, let me go ahead with the announcement for May 2016.
Before going into the new themes, here are the links to some of the BM related pages.
The 2015 BM details can be found in the Blogging Marathon Page.
If you want to check out older BM details, check the BM Archives
If you are new and want to join us, check out the BM Guidelines and Rules
Since we have a month to prepare, please avoid doing last minute posting, prepare ahead and schedule, which should give you enough time to read the fellow participating blogger's post in leisure.
I also decided I will be little more strict in handling late posts. I know real life sometimes becomes very tough to manage. However if you know it is going to be so, please do not sign up. I will understand. But if you are signing up, then I expect you to be prompt in posting and reading fellow BM blogs.
For details on BM held every month, check out the Blogging Marathon page. Once I get all details I will be updating this page. Bloggers taking part in this marathon need to just link back to the BM page.
The entry is again by Sign ups and each theme will again have only 4 bloggers on first come first basis.
And because of the new rules, I will not be able to accept late sign ups as it will become extremely hard for me to manage otherwise. If you feel you want to do it, please decide ahead, else you can join later.
Commenting on the participating bloggers post is mandatory.
The subscription to the group will be on monthly basis.

Kid's Delight theme ensures my Kid's Delight event, guest hosted by other bloggers gets good entries. Since the event is 16th - 15th every month, we have two different themes happening for BM in a month. And you have the choice of doing two different themes.
Kid's Delight - Brunch Ideas for Kids (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)

Please note all entries for Kid's Delight theme have to be kid approved. The dish can be either approved by your own kid, your young relatives, neighbors or even something that you enjoyed as a kid. Do remember to mention the age group of the kid, so that it becomes easy for others.
Kid's Delight - Brunch Ideas for Kids (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)
The 1st and 2nd week of May will be hosted by Priya Srinivasan. She is calling for Brunch Ideas for Kids and will be announcing the event on her blog by 15th April.
The 3rd and 4th week of May will be hosted by Kalyani with theme Summer coolers. She will be announcing the event on her blog by 15th May.
From this list of European cuisine, pick one Cuisine and do 3 different courses. All your three-day posts should be from the same cuisine.
Shaped Yeasted Breads
As the theme says bake yeasted bread in different shapes. It can be sweet or plain or savory. However, the mandatory condition is, it should be yeasted and shaped.
Whole Wheat Dishes
Make Sweet or Savory, any cuisine, any category, the only condition is - your main ingredient should be Wheat. You can use any form of wheat, like whole grain, grit, flour etc.
Pickle n Preserves
With the sun shining so bright, why not pickle some! I know some parts of the globe may not be having the sunshine, you can still make some preserves..
Detox Diets
Read on detox and do three different dishes. You can do different Diets or the same diet 3 posts. When you read on this you will know what I am talking about, if it's not clear.
3 Ingredient Dish
Feature 3 dishes with just 3 ingredients. It can be any course, cuisine. Ingredients like salt, 1 tsp of Oil, butter, sugar is excluded. Sugar above 1 tsp has to consider as an ingredient.
Also, the tempering items in Indian cuisine like mustard, Urad dal and curry leaves can be considered as 1 ingredient.
Special Theme - Mega BM Bookmarks
I know many of us would have ended up with a huge bookmark while selecting for April, so you can do those lists. For those who didn't do the April Mega BM, you can opt to do your own list.
This special theme is open for those who do all the first three weeks.
