Hospitality...tea and what food?
I would love to have a friend over, but I always get caught up in not knowing what to serve people if I invite them over I don't want that to stop me any more!!! I want to connect and branch out
So the woman I want to invite this time is an older woman (60's), I hope to have her come mid-morning. I was planning on tea, sitting out on our patio and chatting. Would a bowl of mixed fruit be a good choice? Any other ideas? I want it to be simple, but showing good hospitality if that makes sense. I am gluten free, and I never know if others are, so I want something that doesn't scream "GLUTEN FREE" , but is safe just in case. Thank you!

Re: Hospitality...tea and what food?
Mixed fruit sounds great. I wouldn't mind something savory as well, cheese slices and some almond or rice based crackers?

Re: Hospitality...tea and what food?
Mid morning tea and light snack sounds perfect. Fruit is awesome. Or a simple muffin or breakfast cake.
And technically if you don't, don't let the lack of food service stop you. I often meet with ladies during the morning hours and it's just over coffee.

Re: Hospitality...tea and what food?
Mid-morning I wouldn't expect anything other than a beverage. But things that are easy and nice (just one):
Crackers and cheese Fresh fruit (doesn't have to be mixed, just get whatever is in season) Cookies Muffins |

Re: Hospitality...tea and what food?
I'd keep it simple. Tea and fruit or something like that.

Re: Hospitality...tea and what food?
Tea and fruit sounds lovely.
If you need more ideas, scones are super easy and fast to make. They tend to go over well, especially with my mom's generation. I've made GF versions for people who are not GF and they don't notice.

This. Truthfully even my gluten eaters in my family prefer my gluten free baked goods. So I wouldn't worry about that.
