The “Season of Eating” officially started a couple weeks ago. K-State Research and Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Specialist, Sharolyn Jackson, says Halloween marks the beginning of what some refer to as a food and party marathon that runs through Thanksgiving and Christmas and won’t end until after the Super Bowl in February.
