New Series : What's for Dinner this Week

I'm staring a series this week that plagues me every single week... what to make for dinner.  I know, dinner is my 'thing' - I shouldn't struggle with what to make.  But, I do.  I think most people do.  For me, I get major burn out.  I get burnt out on trying new things.  I get burn out on making the old stuff.  And at the end of each season (like right now...) I get burnt out on that season's seasonal food.<br /><br />Right now I am burnt out on comforting stews and heavy dinners.  In September I will be burnt out on heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil - which sounds impossible now.  Fresh, summer produce sounds amazingly refreshing, but I know when September rolls around I'll be blogging about how much I'm craving a big pot of chili in front of the fireplace.  It is inevitable.  <br /><br />Where was I...<br /><br />That's right.  The answer to the question - What's for dinner?  At the beginning of every week I'm going to (planning to...) post a weekly dinner plan.  So if you're ever struggling with what to make for dinner, you can click on this link : <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/search/label/Whats%20For%20Dinner" target="_blank">What's For Dinner</a> (copy and paste the link someplace safe - I'll update that link every week with the new week's plan) and you'll have the answer.  Or at least an idea.  And, if you have some great dinner ideas - let me know!  Maybe I'll share a Reader's Choice idea each week, to.  What are you having for dinner this week?<br /><br />This is what I'm planning : <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu68-6NHMA15QTQF_JajQpqd3Iunmjh8c1WVwVRE1nfLHGE5BvvxfIvxoDdmROzGHMhDmFKrllwW5XfTGenPSJ3IL4tBJCV632q1yLSv-pZCr4nVk2Q-oXae-5s7gFi4RiV7r7069Q2Ek/s1600/Chicken-Carb-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu68-6NHMA15QTQF_JajQpqd3Iunmjh8c1WVwVRE1nfLHGE5BvvxfIvxoDdmROzGHMhDmFKrllwW5XfTGenPSJ3IL4tBJCV632q1yLSv-pZCr4nVk2Q-oXae-5s7gFi4RiV7r7069Q2Ek/s640/Chicken-Carb-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Monday : <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/08/chicken-carbonara.html" target="_blank">Roasted Chicken Carbonara </a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSxGSNViwMc6kT04pDaAaojdKEIN7tu1ziZVvrao37ftFdJctD5iQQyJNSVtJVyH92Is-GORqODQpTGNsR6YTCQA6aowY4BqBJtTXIMEabZEeYrT0gC1pve7vS9HVvgKo1Xzk1j0K1fBc/s1600/IMG_4045.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSxGSNViwMc6kT04pDaAaojdKEIN7tu1ziZVvrao37ftFdJctD5iQQyJNSVtJVyH92Is-GORqODQpTGNsR6YTCQA6aowY4BqBJtTXIMEabZEeYrT0gC1pve7vS9HVvgKo1Xzk1j0K1fBc/s640/IMG_4045.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/01/recipes-tomato-basil-soup-best-grilled.html" target="_blank">Tuesday : Tomato Basil Soup & Grilled Cheese</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj240ymVkt5CNBnhNRu8NpH0ded0-IEIDBFNV7geSOrYhRMlAxxRK_FTSBhAIU9eW_lQ8hB75o1uq2Pda5DYoPyFTIFdci0q3Pe5aCBLF_7BHX2b4wcsb7pmXUMsen4ShAkUzgzSC_Dy5E/s1600/IMG_0920.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj240ymVkt5CNBnhNRu8NpH0ded0-IEIDBFNV7geSOrYhRMlAxxRK_FTSBhAIU9eW_lQ8hB75o1uq2Pda5DYoPyFTIFdci0q3Pe5aCBLF_7BHX2b4wcsb7pmXUMsen4ShAkUzgzSC_Dy5E/s640/IMG_0920.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Wednesday : <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2010/09/recipes-chicken-with-olives-and-angel.html" target="_blank">Chicken with Olives and Angel Hair</a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJcyeA9g0sEvaiU5EgbRgJGl97JnG0lGsm6nCJeET-IFsxrrNh2dAZ-U57v4W2pv3LBi_-Vv-BU4Aqy7KEXLeubYhOGamcHj3A6VQ8RjOeTp9uLubXsnhnSG7bI1W-mYkdZip9YlpnuU0/s1600/IMG_6165.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJcyeA9g0sEvaiU5EgbRgJGl97JnG0lGsm6nCJeET-IFsxrrNh2dAZ-U57v4W2pv3LBi_-Vv-BU4Aqy7KEXLeubYhOGamcHj3A6VQ8RjOeTp9uLubXsnhnSG7bI1W-mYkdZip9YlpnuU0/s640/IMG_6165.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtkcY5VDLBB9D_IEi_1TS2s4kDXvXejTP5Xg_UDs7cpBQYBo4khJ8OCgrh81rMXCni35Dch8sn3grpupUvtyh_VxzSGKJHTk-LB-QmaYs7lhlf-rcSt7adrYLm7NOSFvzKfexkNd0jKbM/s1600/IMG_6268_2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtkcY5VDLBB9D_IEi_1TS2s4kDXvXejTP5Xg_UDs7cpBQYBo4khJ8OCgrh81rMXCni35Dch8sn3grpupUvtyh_VxzSGKJHTk-LB-QmaYs7lhlf-rcSt7adrYLm7NOSFvzKfexkNd0jKbM/s640/IMG_6268_2.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Thursday : <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/thai-steak-noodle-salad-simple-thai.html" target="_blank">Thai Steak Noodle Salad</a> & <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/02/peanut-dipping-sauce-recipe-recipes.html" target="_blank">Shrimp Spring Rolls</a><br /><br />Friday : Dinner Out...
