It is really hurtful to go out of your way and work so hard to make food for someone and they don’t appreciate it, I think it would be even worse to do it and the person(s) not even try it.

Maybe there is an underlying condition she isn't telling you about that makes her need the healthier food.

I get it. Between hubby's celiac, my diabetes, and son's allergies, I basically have to cook the whole meal and take it to my mom's.

Okay. So. Canned up 6 half pints of my home made cranberry sauce Friday. Today, hubby smoked the 2 21# turkeys. Tomorrow I will be deboning them. We ended up with 5 turkeys: 2 that hubby bought, 1 we already had, 1 my neighbor gave us, and 1 my mom gave us. That's a lot of turkey!

Since we have so many diet restrictions, it is just easier to make our food and bring it with us. Mom makes a turkey, some mashed potatoes, and a salad. I do the rest. It just works better that way.

One thing that just fizzed me off to no end is that I got so buzy doing all the other crap thst the pumpkin puree I made to can up went bad in the fridge. 6 quarts of the stuff. Good news is I have more pumpkins. Bad news is my composter is getting really full again. It'll get done. Side note: I think these pumpkins were really mistreated. They are going bad faster than I can process them or the chickens can eat them.

Maybe you need to back and re-read the posts that I replied to.

Maybe I was trying to be nice, and your codescending tone is uncalled for.

I don’t know if you were trying to be nice or not, your tone was the one that was condescending. I was trying to point out that Sherree had said her DDIL wouldn’t trust or try the food she made especially for her and I understand how that can cause hurt feelings. Of all the replies on this post, I don’t understand why you singled mine out.

Well, I was trying to be nice. And in the future, since you seem to be touchy, I will be witholding my attempts to find commond ground.

Perhaps we can start over and you can explain why you singled out my reply and why you thought that I had a problem with Sherree’s DDIL? I’m honestly confused about why you pulled me into this rather than Sherree if you had a problem with what was being said. Sherree had stated that she had made food for her DDIL to her specifications and that she wouldn’t trust her enough to even try it. I can see how that would hurt someones feelings. I’ve cooked for many people with no restrictions and some with restrictions, but I’ve never had them not trust me to be honest in how I prepared the food for them. When my DSonIL was first dating my daughter I told him to never eat something I cooked that he didn’t like, it wasn’t going to hurt my feelings because some folks just don’t like certain things and there isn’t anything wrong with that. I found out real quick he took me at my word LOL when I made him an Italian dish one night that he enjoyed at a local restaurant. He didn’t like it and I was fine with it, the recipe was different than what he was used to. I’ve made vegetarian dressing for a nephew for thanksgiving one year, I can’t remember if he liked it or not but I do know he tried it.

I‘ve scraped the money together and worked my rear off in our garden to feed people holiday meals and at other times to have the audacity to hurt my feelings by getting mad at me for not continuing to keep doing it once I was no longer physically able to do so and some of the same people won’t speak to me to this day. So I know how personally how hurtful it can be to do for people and be treated like crap in return.

And no I’m not touchy or even easily offended, all I did what tell you that maybe you might want to re-read the posts because maybe you had me mixed up with someone else. I’m not sure what attempts at common ground that you’ve made but I promise you, they would not go unappreciated.
