Back at the center of the baked good universe! I have had a wonderful 2 weeks’ vacation, but boy have I missed this place.
Including my FRIENDS! Alex, Jenny, Ellen and I are hanging out today! We have such a good time.
Another friend came in to meet me for lunch – Sami! She’s been leaving me comments for ages – and just started as a first year at the University of Virginia (!)
We chatted over tofu and tuna with breaks for me to hop up and handle a few things.
<3 Curried Tuna
We are making something new for October – Pumpkin Oh’s!! It’s a pumpkin cake dough swirled up with a spiced cream cheese. Matt made an experimental loaf and saved me a slice in the cooler. It was so good!! Although I think the cream cheese could have used a little pumpkin too ; )
There is bread to bag and paperwork to do! Hope the pumpkin beer making is going well at home!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
That pumpkin loaf looks delicious! I wish I lived near your store because I would totally buy one! 🙂
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
Pumpkin rolls are my favorite! I’ll get my hands on that soon. Also, my HUGE bag of goodies is already half gone. 🙂 Thank you for taking time to sit down with me (and the shallot vinaigrette 😉 )

KathEats says
Half gone!?!? Hahah
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
YUM-O!
I need to make it into the bakery soon…
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Mmmm…I should make some pumpkin bread soon! yum yum!

wwowwww Matt’s a genius hah! That really looks off the HOOK 🙂
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
Yum, that roll looks sinful. I made some pumpkin cream cheese over the weekend… it is SO good.

Cait's Plate says
Ooooh those look awesome (pun kind of intended!)
And every time you have that curried tuna I want it!!
Emily @ the doodlebug says
I may or may not travel to Virginia to get one of those Pumpkin Rolls. I mean, coming from Iowa, I’m not THAT far away.
Khushboo says
Ohh I was wondering what Oh’s were when you mentioned them in your reply this morning- Er they look fab!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I love pumpkin rolls!! That looks delicious 🙂 Enjoy your day, Kath!
Lindsay @ bikingbeforebed says
The more pumpkin flavor the better! At least add some pumpkin pie spice to the cream cheese. I bet your roll will put the one on the back of the Libbys can to shame.
Johanna B says
Dearly love pumpkin baked goods of any kind. Your roll looks Fan-tas-tic! I’ll bet pumpkin cream cheese would make it even better.
Lauren says
Mmmm, pumpkin. I am craving it crazily-it’s all your fault Kath! 😉 Kidding, I’m just excited for fall and my birthday in a week and a day!
I have never had a rolled cake before but that looks positively scrumptious. And your curried tuna sandwich looks yummy. I wish I could have one delivered from Charlottesville-along with a bowl of soup, it would be the perfect food to help me get over the cold or whatever I have right now. I wouldn’t ask anyone to do the drive for me though, I’ll just have I get it next time I’m in town!
Andrea @ Onion in My Hair says
Matt is a genius! That pumpkin cake looks to-die-for!
Angela @ PattycakesNPancakes says
Why am I hungry again after I already ate lunch? Ohhhh because of your pictures. AACK! Looks so good. Pumpkin and cream cheese, Im there! Do you ship to Florida? 😉
[email protected] says
Man oh man, I wish they had those pumpkin rolls at a Great Harvest around here!
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
That pumpkin roll looks amazing!

That looks so good…I need to make a pumpkin roll soon!
Angel7 says
I just ate tunafish for lunch. I will have to make it with curry powder next time. Curry powder is what you use, right? Or am I totatlly off? 🙂 If you cannot say, I understand.

KathEats says
Yup, it’s curry powder
Janelle says
Kath I have been following your blog for about 3 years , and am so excites about your bakery doing well ! Is there any gluten free options avaible?
KathEats says
Hey Janelle!
We grind our wheat in the store, so doing gluten-free is very very hard. We don’t have anything right now
Janelle says
Hi! Yah I understand that would be very difficult and pricey! If I ever come to cville I would love to meet up with you , my mom is constanly making fun of my ” crazy food mixtures” (as she calls them ) that I get from your site. You have been such an inspiration to me over the years in being healthy and with that I’m
Enjoying life to it’s fullest ! Thanks !
suki says
i’m not big on pumpkin, but oh, if you had the beer to go with that roll, MmmmMmmm. 🙂
Karen says
In Kansas, we call the Pumpkin-Oh a pumpkin roll or pumpkin log, and many people add marshmallow creme to the filling, which makes it extra fluffy.
Lindzjane115 says
Wow, I can’t wait to try the pumpkin-oh!! Looks amazing!
Hillary says
How do you make GH bread sound even more delicious?
You throw some pumpkin in the mix (literally).
Annnnnd now I’m drooling.
Janelle says
I agree ! I wanna down a loaf as we speak !
KathEats says
HAHA!
Stephanie @ Myfarmersmarketonline says
I love all manner of pumpkin in the fall! We enjoyed our pumpkin spice coffee this morning, even though it is about 20 degrees too hot at 90. Anyway, this looks divine! Can’t wait to make a pumpkin loaf myself…or I’ll just wait for my neighbor. She makes a delicious one and loves to share! (I’ve got great neighbors!)

Liz @ Tip Top Shape says

Cream cheese and pumpkin go together like peanut butter and jelly. Legit.

That tuna sandwich looks awesome!! I may experiment at home on a curried tuna salad sandwich.
Tricia says
I make pumpkin rolls every year for Thanksgiving and I put a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon in the cream cheese. So YUMMY!

[email protected] says
I love a pumpkin roll cake! Yum!
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
Pumpkin roll!!! I love pumpkin roll – so yummy :-).
[email protected] says
The only thing my husband makes in the kitchen is puff pancakes for the kids. But if he ever made me something, wow, I think I would faint. You are one lucky wife.
Hilary says
That pumpkin roll looks amazing!! MY FAVORITE!
clara says
I would happily volunteer if you should ever look for a cake tester-intern at your bakery!
[email protected] says
Man, that sandwich looks so flipping good right now!!! I’m pretty sure you’ll be selling out of pumpkin o’s daily, brilliant idea!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
that sandwich looks delish! So vibrant too!
[email protected] says
Good luck with the pumpkin beer.
Your curry tuna salad sandwiches always look great but I have a hard time imaging how curry would taste with tuna…
Natalie the Awesome says
OMG those pumpkin ohs look to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh oh to the ohs!!!!!!
Molly @ RDexposed says
I totally had a pt asking me about GH dakota bread and I was totally stumped! I had to google the nutrition information! Needing you on that one!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
My mom makes pumpkin rolls like that and puts some of the pumpkin spice in the cream cheese. So good! I love the filling- I could eat it straight 🙂
Morgan @ moments of mmm says
I think I might just have to make a trip out to Cville one day to try this curried tuna! It looks super yummy…and don’t get me started on that pumpkin oh!
Maria @ Beautiful Busy Bee says
Mmmm pumpkin stuff!!! 🙂 I just love autumn, mostly cause the pumpkins. Oatmeal? Check. Cookies? Check. Pasta? Check. Pie? Check!!!! That pumpkin roll thang? NOT CHECK. 🙁 I need to get me sum of that!!!! 😀
Leslie says
Yum! I make pumpkin rolls every year. I actually sort of mass produce them (using recipe on the Libby’s label) and then wrap them up and freeze them. That way I have fall/holiday desserts ready at all times for parties or even hostess gifts. I happen to work for a company that makes a great silicone jelly roll pan so they are super easy and it helps me with sales too. Thanks for the reminder that it’s not too early to start making them!
katie @KatieDid says
ohh yum to that O! That’s something we have every year at family parties, it reminds me of home so much.
Rebecca says
you are KILLING me with all that pumpkin…our grocery store is still bare-shelved! I am seriously contemplating a pumpkin scavenger hunt tomorrow…:)
J @ Ess and Jae V2.0 says
Holy YUMMMMMMMM-O. Your pumpkin O’s look freakin’ amazing. Hope there is cinnamon in that cream cheese.
maggie says
I would like a curry tuna sandwich with some pumpkin beer please. I always have to get my Kath fix before bedtime. Love your posts. I have been making baked pumpkin oatmeal this past week with mango and blueberries. I love it for breakfast and dessert at night topped with mango yogurt
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) says
Oh man that pumpkin roll looks amazing. Love fall flavors! I made pumpkin oatmeal for breakfast this AM. So good. Glad you had a fun day back at the bakery.
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Mmm my hubs and I made a pumpkin spice ale last year and it was so much fun. Definitely a novelty beer, and only for one time of the year, but it was tasty.
Lara @TresLaLa says
Holy pumpkin loaf. That looks amazing.
Bonbon says
I have never had pumpkin roll before, but I assume it would have similar texture and taste as chest nuts? They’re both sweet and mushy. I have had chestnut cake/bread before and it was amazing!
Elisabeth says
Pumpkin roll…yum! That’s one of my 3 favorite pumpkin treats (along with PSL from Starbucks & Pumpkin Pie) – my aunt makes a great homemade one, but I’m betting the GH one is even better 😀
Sally Anne @ PaleoRunnerGirl says
I love how y’all get so creative with your GH offerings. The bakery closest to us always sticks with the same loafs. I am a fan of variety! That pumpkin roll looks yummy! I would recommend a pumpkin/cinnamon/pecan infused cream cheese filling….just a thought…
Sarah says
That swirl loaf looks so good!
[email protected] says
So happy for pumpkin season! I made some yummy banana/pumpkin bread yesterday. It’s almost gone!
