Video: Mara Enjoying a Favorite Treat

Due to Mara’s struggles with gastrointestinal issues, our extended team customized a meal plan that appealed to her likes and dislikes, while addressing digestion and gas issues. It turns out that she really loves cooked pumpkin and 99% of the time will eat it with gusto. Here’s a video of her enjoying this favorite dish.

Warning for those who dislike the sound of chewing. Mara is really chowing down here!

      She eats a lot of other fruits and vegetables, along with hay and whatever she grazes on. But the cooked pumpkin is an extra treat.

    Oh, my goodness. Reminds me of a toddler eating. She even has it on her eye. I like cooked pumpkin, too. Some times I make pumpkin pie without the crust. Just a casserole.
