We’re having a dandy ole time here at Great Harvest Cville. I crunched numbers ALL morning trying to get our whole first week of sales sorted out. I have a love + hate relationship with this task!
Don’t Allie + Karen look thrilled to be bagging bread!?
I had several blog readers come in to visit too – hi to Ruthie and Joyce, who came all the way here from Texas!!! [First for a teaching conference, second for KERF : ) ]
As predicted, that honkin’ bowl of oatmeal kept me full all morning – until 2PM!
I paused to dive into a big salad from home – lettuce, peppers, carrots, salt, olive oil, salmon and 4 big juicy dates
Plus a slice of Cinna Raisin Walnut smothered in a lite layer of Honey Cinnamon PB
Afterwards – a taste of Savannah Bar. So hard to resist something small + sweet after lunch!
I LOVE Savannah Bars- the great harvest by me always has blueberry/raspberry ones, they’re so delicious.
Does your bakery carry the cinnamon rolls?
Not yet…
Oh those Savannah bars look good! Do they carry them at other GH locations?
Some, yes!
The salad looks awesome!
I heart bagging bread!!
Cinna Raisin Walnut smothered in a lite layer of Honey Cinnamon PB = omg that nut butter sounds like my kinda flavor combo.
Allie and Karen both look wonderful 🙂
And good luck with your number crunching! I know your attention to detail is second to none and that you wont rest til it all balances out, to the penny 🙂
Juicy dates = the best kinda dates!
Allie and Karen DO look super cute 😀
Enjoy your day!
I wish you’d stop posting pics of all the GH bread – it’s NOT FAIR that we can’t get it in England!!
Are you going to the HLS? If so, PLEASE bring some bread! I’ll pay big bucks for it 😀
I COULD do something for HLS ….
I would pay big bucks for the bread to appear in Canada too!!
PLEASE DO!
Sounds like a pretty perfect lunch! I hate math, but I actually find book-balancing to be oddly enjoyable…
Everytime you post a pic of those savannah bars I start wanting something sweet!
Yummy! 🙂
It would be dangerous for my health to work at a bakery! : ) Those bars look superb.
Allie and Karen are so cute! And I bet they were smiling even more after a bite of one of those bars. They look so good!!!
Allie and your mom look so happy! And number crunching can always be a pain – but the end result will be sweeeeet, I am sure!
I WISH a bowl of oatmeal could keep me full until 2pm, no matter how big it was! For some reason I am in that .01% of people who oatmeal just does not satisfy for more than about 2 hours, no matter what add-ins get tossed in the mix.
The bakery looks wonderful and your employees look great too! I wish my local GH was you guys, but sadly it is not even a little bit as awesome. If it was Cville I’d be there every day =)
I’m trying to switch to oatmeal breakfasts now, but so far Im hungry on them compared to my Naked Juice smoothies I’ve been doing!
Nice to see Karen is feeling up to being at the bakery today! 🙂
I’ve never thought of putting dates on a salad. Intriguing!
I hope all the numbers worked out!
Hi Kath! I just started following your blog and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I have recently decided to commit to eating a more healthy and organic diet. I find your blog so helpful and inspiring! Congratulations on the new bakery – the bread looks amazing!!
Thanks!!
I definitely couldn’t resist all those delectable sweets either! Way to go in keeping it in moderation.
Aww, that’s cute that they came to help out. That salad looks delish- I LOVE SALMON!! 🙂
I can never resist something sweet after lunch too! Especially if it’s making eye contact with you, like those bars seem to be doing 🙂
Haha they do look super excited to be bagging bread : )
I like the title of this post today. Very fitting. 🙂 The salmon on your salad reminded me to add it to my list. Thanks!
Last night I made my own version of “Savannah Bars” at home, except I used a combination of local peaches and blueberries. Local peaches in the summer = candy in my mouth!
Looks like a yummy lunch! I would love having all that food to choose from everyday for all my meals! Yum-aaaaay!
Kath: Your bread and Savannah Bars look so amazing that I made a trip to my local Havest Bread here in Portland, OR to buy some and almost cried when it was closed for the day. I will make another trip soon and wish I could visit your location. Maybe one day! Congrats on your success. Are the Savannah Bars as amazing as they look???
YES THEY ARE!! <3 MMMmmmm!!
i wouldn’t be able to resist a savannah bar either. love the name!
I would eat so much bread if I was there! What a dream come true!
I’ve never had a Savannah Bar before. I wish you were closer so I could also visit! Maybe when I’m in town one day!
Aw Allie and Karen look so cute!!! I still can’t believe you two are working together. Too awesome 🙂
I wish I could stay filled…I’m not even asking for till 2 pm. I would settle for 12:30! No matter what I eat I’m starving by 11 am. It may have to do with the fact that I am running around with toddlers all morning and there is no time for a snack …
I would have a hard time working around all that delicious food. But you look so busy, I bet you hardly have time to munch.
Glad you got week one of sales sorted out! 🙂
I am going to RI for a mini vacation in August – and have decided that I am going to get to the GH there no matter what. I’ve had enough of just looking at the gloriousness that Great Harvest offers!
You are SERIOUSLY tempting me to go my local GH! There’s no bread that even COMPARES!
I am sure that over time the number crunching will not be so bad.

I always have to have something sweet to end every meal! I am getting better and better about making it fruit! lol. 🙂 Major props to you for not munching all the time!
Looks like you are having so much fun! Being an RD I have a weird question~ do you believe in metobolic typing?
THx,
Heather
The only thing I really believe in is real food!
Love Karen’s dress!
Mmmm I am still dying to try GH bread!!! Everything ALWAYS looks delicious.. Do you think you guys will be coming up to D.C. for anything anytime soon… w bread 😉 ?
Oh fun! Numbers 🙂
Mmmm… that cinna bread looks so doughy!
I need some dates (the fruit kind)!! They are so good.
I agree. I need a date, too! It’s been years! Four times longer than necessary.
Probably the favorite image running through my mind lately would be the “Cinna Raisin Walnut smothered in a lite layer of Honey Cinnamon PB” :))
I need to have something sweet to end my meal otherwise it doesn’t feel complete! A bite of a Savannah bar would surely do the trick!
Is it a type A personality thing that likes to crunch numbers? I’m the same way!
I always like to have something small and sweet after lunch too. A date or a piece of dark chocolate usually does the trick! I think I’d like those Savannah bars even better though, if we had a GH here. 😛
Wow! I came, I sampled, I bought Dakota, though neither North nor South. Why did they name it that? Because the loaf is as big as both states?
Great job on the bakery! I’ll be back.
Still debating the name – perhaps they love pumpkin seeds in the Dakotas?
Thanks so much for coming by!! Enjoy the bread 🙂
As they say on TV: “But wait! There’s more!”
Dakota
1809, name of a group of native peoples from the Plains states speaking a Siouan language, from Dakota dakhota “friendly” (the name often is translated as “allies”). Recorded by Lewis and Clark (1804) as Dar co tar ; in western dialects of the Teton subgroup, Lakota, Lakhota ; in Assiniboine dialect, Nakota, Nakhota .

Seriously, I wish you weren’t so far away. You’re making me want to move to C-Ville just for your bakery and biking and the beer you always show lol!
Having one small and sweet something after lunch is better than eating something HUGE and sweet after lunch (though even that’s okay sometimes if you ask me!) 🙂 A good habit to keep!
