Nieves: Icy Cold Treats to Cool Off With!

Temperatures are rising in many parts of the world so we are gettin' chilly with Rick Bayless this week and celebrating Nieves! and other refreshingly icy treats.

Nieve is a Spanish word for snow and it usually refers to sorbets that are water based, however, we are looking for any refreshing cold treats this week--things like ice cream, paletas or frozen pops, shaved ices, granitas and icy-cold beverages.

So sit in front of a fan, plow through those Bayless cookbooks or prowl on line for an icy creation to cool you off and post it by Sunday, July 29th. Don't forget to link your post of the week's with Mr. Linky below, so we can all enjoy your fabulous icy creation! Remember to leave a comment after, each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.
