GLUTEN-FREE LADIES LUNCHEON IDEAS 
(Simple and Easy Menu)

 

 

Sharing some simple and thoughtful ideas for hosting this ladies luncheon.

A few weeks ago, two of my daughters and I completed a Bible study together. We decided to gather at my house to talk through the final session, and I wanted to make the afternoon feel a little extra special. Since both of my daughters eat gluten free, I planned a simple luncheon that was both easy to prepare and enjoyable for everyone.

This was not a fancy or time-consuming meal, but it turned out to be such a meaningful time together.

 

Our Gluten-Free Luncheon Menu

I kept things simple with a variety of light dishes and easy favorites:

Appetizers

• Ham pinwheels with cream cheese
• Cheese cubes
• Crustless mini quiche bites

Fresh Fruit

• Seasonal fruit tray
• Strawberry cream cheese dip

Main Course

• Grilled chicken salad
• Homemade chicken salad
• Baked potatoes (not pictured—I took photos before they came out of the oven!)

Desserts

• Dessert jars layered with gluten-free cake, vanilla pudding, strawberries, blueberries, and whipped topping
• Banana pudding parfaits
• Store-bought gluten-free pound cake topped with homemade blueberry sauce

Drinks

• Sherbet punch
• Sweet tea
• Water

Simple & Thoughtful Gluten-Free Hosting

This luncheon was all about spending time together and making my daughters feel special. It didn’t require complicated recipes or hours in the kitchen—just a little planning and a lot of love.

If you are hosting friends or family who eat gluten free, putting together a menu like this is an easy way to make everyone feel included and cared for.
