\"Milkshake\"ALERT ALERT ALERT to anyone who doesn’t have a TV, read a newspaper or have Internet access and seen the ads \u2014 Mother\u2019s Day is this Sunday.<\/p>\n

OK, before you start getting frantic, don\u2019t worry\u2014all is not lost. I’ve got your back on this one. You can, of course, take your favorite mom, mom figure or important woman in your life out to stand in line to wait way too long to eat because you forgot to make a reservation, or you can score some major points with a quick trip to the grocery store for ice cream (and flowers and gift certificates or if it\u2019s a mega grocery\u2014a blender or food processor to help make the \u201cpresent\u201d).<\/p>\n

As for the ice cream, I\u2019m not talking about a huge calorie-loaded extravaganza or even a recipe that calls for bunches of ingredients and lots of prep time. I\u2019m suggesting recipes that call for 3 to 5 ingredients and can be made with frozen yogurt, lactose-free or non-dairy substitutes and non-dairy \u201cmilks\u201d if lactose intolerance or allergies are a worry.<\/p>\n

The following milkshake recipes offer even the most cooking- impaired individuals a way to say \u201cI love you mom\u201d and they give new meaning to \u201csharing the love.\u201d<\/p>\n
