What to do with leftover frozen purees?

This is a great article!! When you start making food for your baby, you realize that it is easier to make a bunch and freeze it in those perfect little ice cube sized portioned...but what do you do when your baby has moved on to eating table food and you have a bunch of little food cubes in the freezer?
