Sevenly-+-Dogeared-Blog

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with the awesome cause-marketplace, Sevenly! For every Dogeared piece purchased through Sevenly, they’ll donate $7 to their weekly charity partner. We’re very excited to partner TOGETHER in being the change that we both wish to see in this world.

About Sevenly: In January of 2011, two young Entrepreneurs Dale Partridge and Aaron Chavez got together with the mission of leading a generation toward generosity. With a belief that people mattered, they began a journey to change the world. On June 13th 2011, Sevenly was born. By creating weekly cause campaigns where customers could purchase products that gave $7 to a weekly charity, Sevenly successfully unlocked not only a way to crowd-fund for causes, but to drive massive social awareness as well. With over 2.8 million dollars raised and counting, the purchase with Sevenly makes a difference!

Meaningful Gifts

@simplyjessicamarie

“the elephant bracelet was a gift to myself to wear as a daily reminder of my grandma who lived with Alzheimer’s. There is a phrase that says elephants “never forget” which is why they are a symbol for Alzheimer’s awareness- so that we can fight to protect the memory of our loved ones. So it might just be a bracelet, but I love it for its symbolism”

Simple Salad

Fall-Salad

We love this easy salad & dressing recipe from our Graphic Design Manager, Kristen – it’s perfect for the season!

Ingredients:
8 oz. spring mix salad greens or baby spinach
1 bosc pear or fuji apple
1 pomegranate
5 oz gorgonzola or blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup pecan or walnut halves
1/4 to 1/2 cup maple vinaigrette, recipe follows

*Note – certain combos work better together…I like to use spinach with walnuts, apples, and blue cheese, and spring mix with pecans, pears, and gorgonzola.

Directions:
Toast the nuts in a dry pan, shaking constantly until they’re just fragrant and lightly browned.
Cut the apple or pear into quarters, remove the stem and the seeds, and slice very thinly.  Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Cut the pomegranate in half, and submerge it in a bowl of water while you remove the arils/seeds. (The white pith will float to the top and the seeds will sink to the bottom, and the staining juice is confined to the water)
Toss the greens and the apple/pear slices with the dressing and season with salt and pepper.  Scatter the pomegranate seeds, nuts, and cheese on top.
Serves 4 as a starter, 2 as a dinner salad.

Maple Vinaigrette Dressing:
1 large shallot, minced (1 heaping tablespoon)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. maple syrup
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. walnut oil (optional)

Add the first 4 ingredients to a small mason jar and shake to combine, then add the oils and shake until emulsified.
