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!
That pumpkin loaf looks delicious! I wish I lived near your store because I would totally buy one! 🙂
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 😉 )
Sami
Half gone!?!? Hahah
YUM-O!
I need to make it into the bakery soon…
Mmmm…I should make some pumpkin bread soon! yum yum!
wwowwww Matt’s a genius hah! That really looks off the HOOK 🙂
Yum, that roll looks sinful. I made some pumpkin cream cheese over the weekend… it is SO good.

Ooooh those look awesome (pun kind of intended!)
And every time you have that curried tuna I want it!!
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.
Ohh I was wondering what Oh’s were when you mentioned them in your reply this morning- Er they look fab!
I love pumpkin rolls!! That looks delicious 🙂 Enjoy your day, Kath!
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.
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.
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!
Matt is a genius! That pumpkin cake looks to-die-for!
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? 😉
Man oh man, I wish they had those pumpkin rolls at a Great Harvest around here!
That pumpkin roll looks amazing!
So fun to meet a longtime reader, eh?
That looks so good…I need to make a pumpkin roll soon!
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.

Yup, it’s curry powder
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?
Hey Janelle!
We grind our wheat in the store, so doing gluten-free is very very hard. We don’t have anything right now
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 !
i’m not big on pumpkin, but oh, if you had the beer to go with that roll, MmmmMmmm. 🙂
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.
Wow, I can’t wait to try the pumpkin-oh!! Looks amazing!
How do you make GH bread sound even more delicious?
You throw some pumpkin in the mix (literally).
Annnnnd now I’m drooling.
I agree ! I wanna down a loaf as we speak !
HAHA!
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!)

That pumpkin O sounds amazing!! I want some! It’s so nice that you meet with your readers, too 😀
Cream cheese and pumpkin go together like peanut butter and jelly. Legit.
Oh dang that looks good! I’m a sucker for anything pumpkin!
I loooove pumpkin loaves!!! I had a friend in grad school who would bring homemade pumpkin rolls to class in the fall…so tasty!
Oh wow these look so good! 🙂
Your eats are looking amazing! Yum 🙂
Oh my gosh. I love the Oh pumpkin bread. I hope I get to try it Oh soon soon!
What a fun meetup and pumpkin cake dough swirled up with a spiced cream cheese sounds heavenly! 🙂
Why oh why is there no Great Harvest near me…. So sad! That pumpkin cream cheese roll looks amazing.
That tuna sandwich looks awesome!! I may experiment at home on a curried tuna salad sandwich.
I make pumpkin rolls every year for Thanksgiving and I put a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon in the cream cheese. So YUMMY!
Oh that pumpkin swirl looks too good!! I bet the pumpkin beer turns out perfect!
oh.my.goodness. i need to put my local GH in touch with y’all and maybe you can pass along some ideas to spice up their menu 🙂
I love a pumpkin roll cake! Yum!
Pumpkin roll!!! I love pumpkin roll – so yummy :-).
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.
That pumpkin roll looks amazing!! MY FAVORITE!
I would happily volunteer if you should ever look for a cake tester-intern at your bakery!
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!
that sandwich looks delish! So vibrant too!
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…
OMG those pumpkin ohs look to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh oh to the ohs!!!!!!
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!
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 🙂
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!
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!!!! 😀
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!
ohh yum to that O! That’s something we have every year at family parties, it reminds me of home so much.
you are KILLING me with all that pumpkin…our grocery store is still bare-shelved! I am seriously contemplating a pumpkin scavenger hunt tomorrow…:)
Holy YUMMMMMMMM-O. Your pumpkin O’s look freakin’ amazing. Hope there is cinnamon in that cream cheese.
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
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.
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.
Holy pumpkin loaf. That looks amazing.
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!
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 😀
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…
That swirl loaf looks so good!
So happy for pumpkin season! I made some yummy banana/pumpkin bread yesterday. It’s almost gone!
