The Comal County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office, located at 325 Resource Drive, New Braunfels, will start its 2019 DIY Saturday series with a lesson in making baby food Jan. 12.
“Every parent wants the best for their child, but sometimes the best can be expensive,” instructor Krystal Snider said. “Making your own baby food is a way to make sure your child is getting fresh, nutritious and delicious food while saving money, too.”
This year’s theme, “Path to the Plate,” will highlight the connection between food and health, focusing on growing, making and preparing nutritious food. The classes will take place on the second Saturday of the month from 9-11 a.m. The schedule is as follows:
- Jan. 12: baby food
