Definitely not often enough!! I've only been on it for 6 weeks now and I'm already bored with the choices. And I just discovered the Mesquite Chicken last week...loved it...and found out that it is now discontinued!!
I've found there's a lot more dinner meals I like than lunches. I wish they'd reclassify the Penne Pasta back to a lunch!!

I have been on JC since August 25th and we got some new snacks, Ravioli, Pesto Pizza and Rotini and meatballs last fall, like mid September and they got rid of a few "seasonal food" that were a limited availablity offering. And now we have these new things. So I would expect to get three new options in the Fall again. But when things come, others go. I will miss the Mesquite Chicken.

I've been on Jenny since January of 2004 - in the beginning when I started it seemed every month or every 6 weeks we had new food choices, but now they have made a lot of the new ones permanent (Vegetable & Chicken Potstickers for example). I don't believe they are doing it every 6 weeks anymore and as the last person said they usually take things away when they introduce new ones.
I'm a huge FAN of the Mesquite Chicken but it is sadly leaving us. I stocked up! LOL They had last summer something I truly miss for dinner...Chicken & Asparagus Crepe! Yummy it was soooooooo good!
I have spoken with my counselor about the fact that I like the dinner selections better then lunch and she said that as long as you look at the calorie content they are generally only off about 20 calories. What I tend to do is have dinner for lunch and lunch for dinner (except for teh rising crust pizza - need to cook that in the oven at night). I found by switching things up like that it has kept things interesting and keeps me going better.
Once you get to halfway you can have 2 days on your own where you can make your own lunch/dinner. I love to make a turkey sandwich on a whole wheat pita with lettuce and tomatoe now. It is definitely different for a change from the Jenny, but I'm still into the foods from Jenny. I don't like change, but sometimes it is a good thing. I love the new entrees they have offered - Thai Chicken and the Southwestern - I like spice so it's nice.
Good luck and hang in there!
