Found a cool website: Food Volume to Weight Conversions
I am entering a recipe into my MFP recipe file to see the "damage" before I actually begin making the recipe. (Sometimes, after reviewing the recipe "on paper" I decide to make changes or sometimes ditch a recipe altogether in favor of another.)
Anyway, I like to enter my recipes using weight measurements vs. volumetric measurements, because it makes calculating the serving sizes (and therefore the calorie count per serving) easier: X total grams in weight for the whole recipe divided by Y servings yields Z kcal per serving.
I was trying to predetermine the weight for one of the ingredients in the recipe given in a volumetric measure, and I came across this website:
http://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/food-weight-to-volume
It's kind of cool, so I thought I'd share it.
Enjoy!

Oops! I accidentally linked the food-weight-to-volume page above, instead of the food-volume-to-weight page. Here's a link for volume to weight:

I have this site bookmarked. Very handy for converting recipes from cups/spoons etc. to grams0
