I'm one of those people who slaved over the food processer making yummy organic homemade babyfood for my son. I would make a batch, freeze it in icecube trays, and then transfer it to freezer bags. Unfortunately, my son completely skipped the puree stage, and instead started solids at around 10 months old.
But what to do with all of these cubes of babyfood?? It seemed such a waste to toss them out.
I finally found an obvious solution one day, when I made stew for the kids for lunch, but it was too hot. I went to the freezer to grab an icecube, and came across the bag of frozen "carrot cubes." I tossed one in each bowl, and voila! Cooled stew, with a twist!
Now I cook and puree any veggies/fruits that are getting too ripe, and keep them frozen in baggies. Not only do I use them as a cooling tool, but I also add them to spaghetti sauce/stews/soups if I'm low on fresh veggies. Because I hate wasting food.

I rip up kale, chard, etc., add a little water, and puree them. They freeze nicely in ice cube trays and are unnoticed in smoothies.
