As I am writing this post, I am surprised that six months have gone in a blink! I am here with the announcement for July 2017. It was a good thing that I have the themes sorted for the whole year, else it would surely be a case of being caught unaware!.
Before going into the new themes, here are the links to some of the BM related pages.
From 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 blogger’s post is mandatory.
The subscription to the group will be on monthly basis.

Themes for BM # 78th will be the following:
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 – Frozen Foods (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)
Kid’s Delight – Lunch Box dishes (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 – Summer coolers (3,4,5 and 10,11,12)
The 1st and 2nd weeks of July will be hosted by me. Continuing with the Summer theme, this is a call for Frozen Food. I will be announcing the event on the blog by 15th June.
Kid’s Delight – Lunch Box dishes (17,18,19 and 24,25,26)
The 3rd and 4th week of July will be hosted by Amara, themed on Lunch Box Dishes. With school getting reopened in India, we will need ideas to pack for the kids. She will be announcing the details on her blog by 15th July. Please check out for specific details when she announces.
No-Bake Desserts for Lazy Days
As the name says, enjoy your dessert by not baking it. The dishes chosen should typically be those desserts that are normally baked in OTG. Other options you can think of is, is using Microwave, Stovetop etc. Or the most common way of freezer desserts.
Secret Ingredients!
Create a dish that has an unexcepted ingredient in it. Like Bottlegourd in a cake, or a tomato ketchup etc. The dish should feature this surprise ingredient and your family should have had a tough time guessing it.
Toppings for Pancake, Ice Creams
I am in the mood for some toppings, so you can opt to make some pancakes or Ice Creams and top it with these toppings! Not necessary that you should have pancakes or ice creams in the frame, if you have, it will surely be great! Again you can make some savory toppings as well. Between Pancakes can include wide varieties, including our Dosas as well.
Let Them Eat Brownies
You know that a while ago I had made many batches of Brownies to get the perfect Eggless Brownie. I am still trying to get one right. No, this theme will not feature my leftover recipes of brownies, I am going to try new. So along with me, please make some and let’s have them Eat Brownies!
Pick one Festival/ Special day and cook 3 dishes
I have picked up around four different occasions/festivals (Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Indian Independence Day, Ganesh Chaturthi), you can feature those that are not listed as well. Again you can either do 3 for one occasion or do 3 different.
Oceanic Cuisines
Pick up one from countries bordering on two or more oceans. Refer this page for details
Special Theme:
From this month on, I am introducing two themes for the 4th week. Please read the rules carefully.
Redo Old Posts
