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 – Bite Size Appetizers (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)
Kid’s Delight – Soups and Stews (17,18,19 and 24,25,26)

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 – Bite Size Appetizers (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)

The 1st and 2nd weeks of October will be hosted by Sapana themed on “Bite Size Appetizers” Kids love anything in bite size and I am sure you will have fun creating those. She will be announcing the event on her blog by the 15th of October.

Kid’s Delight –  Soups and Stews (17,18,19 and 24,25,26)

The 3rd and 4th week of October be hosted by Srividhya, themed on “Soups and Stews” It’s important that kids learn to enjoy Soups and Stews. While I know my kids love soup, I haven’t made much off late. So this is surely an opportunity to make again. She will be announcing the event on her blog by the 15th of November.

Fall Fruit Desserts

While we do not see much of seasonal changes in India, other parts of the globe have rich instances of Fall related fresh produce. So if you are either living in those parts or you want to be inspired by that fresh produce and make desserts, then you can. You can even showcase the fruits that are commonly available this season in India as well.

Crepes for all Time

Crepes are my all time favorite. So make any crepe, sweet or savory, it can be international or Indian in nature. It can be plain or with accompaniment.

Pizzas

I know I have been repeating Pizzas, but then what to do, wanted to keep the themes little easier for all to make.

Make Takeout at Home

If you are fond of takeaways, then get inspired by those dishes and make them yourself at home. It can be any cuisine, any course.

Thanksgiving Meals

I know I seem to have ended up picking themes that are more pro USA this month. It didn’t strike until now. So let’s just go ahead and make a Thanksgiving meal to thank our near and dear for what they mean and do for us. So it need not just be the USA, can be any cuisine too.

The cuisine of U.S.A.

Well, this will have so many options for us that I am sure no one will complain. So let’s explore and have a blast!

Special Theme:

We have two themes for the 4th week. Please read the rules carefully.

Redo Old Posts 

Do mandatory 2 weeks regular BM and you can do the 4th week with Redo your older posts theme. Please note, you will have to 2 mandatory BM themes to pick this up.

Regular Bookmarked

This the regular Bookmarks Theme.

You can either do bookmarks from your regular Bookmarks.

So do 3 weeks, pick up this 4th fourth of your own choice. It can be anything you bookmarked or your own.
