Thingscubed or Cubedthings Since I was almost a math major, I thought I’d use some of that here. Don’t worry, you won’t have to pull out a calculator for any of it! And maybe my favorite high school math teachers, Mrs. Agnes Puckett—bless her soul—and Mrs. Theresa Floyd, would be proud of me for still using math at least SOMEHOW! Having an active child keeps you on your toes, thinking of ways to (try to) stay a few steps ahead of him. One of the few ways I’ve found is “homemade convenience foods.” We make batches of something (examples follow), then freeze the portions in ice cube trays. When frozen, they’re transferred to ziptop freezer bags. We just take out the portions as needed. Some of our favorite thingscubed are: Mashed potatoes Spaghetti sauce Fresh lime juice (I freeze one Tablespoon per cube...makes it easy to measure for recipes. Can also do lemon, orange, etc.) Leftover coffee (can be used with bottled coffee drinks, instead of watering down the drink with regular ice cubes.)
