Easy weeknight dinners have been my saving grace the past few weeks and this Orzo with Italian Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers has made multiple appearances on weekly meal plan – it’s that good.

My Jr. Sous Pug, Jeffie’s, blindness and diabetes chaos has had the schedule in a bit of an uproar with new meds, twice, sometimes thrice, weekly doctor appointments, charts galore and craziness.  He developed cataracts almost overnight due to the diabetes.  Sadly, he’s been having a rough go of it with learning commands, navigating walks and coping.  I have seen him go from a fiercely independent pup to one that is so scared and hesitant that it’s been heartbreaking.  His primary vet referred him to a veterinary eye surgeon that could essentially work miracles.  …
