I’m surprised you keep doing this! Teach her how to cook. Who cares if she’s not interested? I’m not interested in a lot of things I have to do. My teens aren’t interested in doing their own laundry or emptying the dishwasher—they still have to do it. Stop enabling your princess. Time for her to become a productive member of the family.

I'm assuming you're not eating these things together as a meal?

Insisting she eat is ridiculous. Everyone is entitled to one mistake and bodily autonomy. Then stop cooking for her until she earns your trust back.

My teen does this too. It makes me mad. I have stopped cooking or o give lecture about how she better eat before I cook it.

Freeze the dish end of the day and offer to your DD next time she ask for it.

I wouldn't cook things just for her, but if you are cooking for the family, I would insist that she eat the same meal as everyone else, especially if she requested it.
