Will the CSA Box Stress Me Out?

I've been thinking about subscribing to a CSA share for a while.  A couple weeks ago, I was at the Glenview Farmers Market and stopped at the stand for Tomato Mountain Farm.  They had a beautiful display of their share and I took the bait.



Thursday I received my second solo share from the farm.  It contained carrots, dill, bright yellow summer squash, head lettuce, kale and broccoli.  I feel a little frazzled trying to think of what to make with these fresh treasures.  Here's what I have planned for this week:

Dill Bread
Lamb Braised with Spring Vegetables (using frozen leg of lamb leftover from Easter)
Sweet Spicy Garlic Dills (from Small Batch Preserving)
Mediterranean Salmon Cakes with Cucumber Sauce
Mashed Potato Latkes with Zucchini and Dill (substituting yellow squash for the zucchini)
Orange Chicken with Broccoli (from the Weight Watchers old New Complete Cookbook)
Chicken with Rice Noodles, Scallions and Carrots (from the Weight Watchers My Turnaround Program Cookbook)

Let's see how this goes...
