📝 INFO for not asking her if she wants food?

So, I go to my godmother's house usually once or twice a week. She is an older lady (she can still move around well), and I help her with things around her house. There have been three occasions (the third incident happened today) about me not asking her if she wants something to eat when I stop by. When I get off of work, I call her and tell her I am coming to her house. She said, "Why don't you ask me if I want something to eat?" I asked her if she was hungry, and she said no (the two times she asked me), and I said okay with a silence in-between. She called me earlier today at 12:16, and I told her it was a possibility I would be late since she wanted me to come. I called her at 4:55 and said I was coming to her house. She thought I was coming earlier, and I had to remind her what we talked about. She then said, "No, I don't want anything to eat since you didn't ask me" (I could tell she was annoyed). I got silent and said, "If you want something to eat, you need to tell me." After that, she said, Yeah, I want you to still come." Nothing happened after. We just got right to work. Should I ask her if she wants something to eat moving forward, or should she open her mouth and tell me? This makes me think the situation will get worse in the future. I don't read minds. But maybe she wants me to ask so it shows I care when I already do.
