As always I love giving resources so here is a link to a worksheet just for an example. http://www.education.com/files/54901_55000/54950/file_54950.pdf I will update examples when I find them.
A list of activites example are;
measuring water into measuring cups and graphing the results from various sizes of measuring cups
measuring ingredients for baking gingerbread men or in this case shamrock cookies
stacking measuring cups inside each other
ordering from smallest to largest, etc.

so I hope that these few resources will inspire you to create your very own theme unit.

also here is another link http://depts.washington.edu/pku/PDFs2/measure.pdf

here is another one http://www.homeschoolshare.com/cooking.php

and another http://www.kids-cooking-activities.com/
