Hey, Bev, got this and thought it might help with what you were looking for:

"I do however convert a lot of my recipes to weight using the USDA nutrient 
database.

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

It will tell you for example how many grams a cup of raw blueberries weighs
(148 g)  or what a tablespoon of honey weighs (21g) etc.  They'll even tell
you that 50 berries weighs 68g :)  Not 67g or 69g.

Nutrition labels as well as recipes (published) from the US should be
referencing this database.  The government likes to standardize these
things."

Members of Congress should be compelled to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers 
so we can identify their corporate sponsors.
