KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Taylor Swift once raved about the sweet potato casserole served at a New York City restaurant and now that recipe pops up every now and again at Thanksgiving. The holidays encourage many of us to try new recipes. Social media right now is flooded with recipes for appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Anyone making that cornbread casserole from TikTok? While we might not get to share a Thanksgiving feast with Swift — is your name Blake Lively? — or other celebrities beloved by Kansas City, we can eat like them. So here’s the recipe for that casserole Swift loved so much, and favorite family side dish recipes from Donna Kelce and Eric Stonestreet. Enjoy. Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, seen here last year at her son's music festival, dined on a cheesesteak made by actor Bradley Cooper at QVC festivities in Las Vegas this week. (Emily Curiel/Kansas City Star/TNS) If we tried to guess how many holiday dinner rolls Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have scarfed over the years, would it be in the hundreds? Thousands? Their mom has spoken often about the batches of holiday crescent rolls she has baked over the years. Based on the recipe that won the 1969 Pillsbury Bake-Off, Pillsbury’s Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs , they’re now known as Mama Kelce’s Dinner Rolls. They blend the crescent roll pastry with marshmallows, cinnamon and sugar. Dinner roll or dessert? We bet they didn’t last long enough in front of Travis and Jason for that debate. Ingredients Rolls •1/4 cup granulated sugar •2 tablespoons Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon •2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) •16 large marshmallows •1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted Glaze •1/2 cup powdered sugar •1/2 teaspoon vanilla •2-3 teaspoons milk •1/4 cup chopped nuts Directions Make the rolls 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 medium muffin cups with nonstick baking spray. 2. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. 3. Separate the dough into 16 triangles. For each roll, dip 1 marshmallow into melted butter; roll in the sugar mixture. Place marshmallow on the shortest side of a triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side and rolling to opposite point. Completely cover the marshmallow with the dough; firmly pinch edges to seal. Dip 1 end in remaining butter; place butter side down in muffin cup. 4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. 5. When done, remove from the oven and let the puffs cool in the pan for 1 minute. Remove rolls from muffin cups; place on cooling racks set over waxed paper. Make the glaze and assemble In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve warm.

The Philippines VP publicly threatens to have the president assassinatedU.S. police don’t just face , police vehicles also remain in relatively short supply — a problem that offers an opening for government technology. An example comes from the Pacific Northwest, where police in — the Seattle suburb that once served as headquarters for warehouse retail chain — have started to use a cloud-based fleet management tool from to tighten up patrol car inspections. Inspections of police vehicles don’t tend to get much attention in cop dramas. But the activity, as unglamorous as it might be, stands as one of the most vital daily tasks for law enforcement, a checklist activity that can impact officer safety, crime prevention, arrests and even public safety budgets and departmental reputations. As explained by Kirkland Police Cpl. Duncan McKay, officers at the beginning of their shifts are expected to check their patrol vehicles for body and tire damage, exterior and interior lights, sirens and other features as part of a “full 360-degree walkaround.” Driver and passenger compartments, computers, printers, patrol rifles, defibrillators — all need to be checked before an officer hits the street, with results traditionally marked in a notebook via pen and paper. That process can take time and eventually become tedious — a situation known to people who often rent automobiles and skimp on the pre-drive inspection. Intentionally or not, an officer might skip some steps, with the paper-based process offering relatively few ways to prevent that. “Vehicle inspections are mundane and officers just get lazy,” McKay told . “They just don’t do them.” The result? A host of problems that can include missing things that need immediate maintenance or repair, which can lead to higher auto shop costs down the road. Besides that, missing or defective gear can put in danger the lives of officers, suspects and citizens. Preventing all that is why Kirkland Police Department has become the first law enforcement agency to deploy Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting from Zonar, which focuses on commercial trucking, transit fleets and other areas. Instead of paper and pencil, a digital checklist accessed via a mobile app serves as the basis for those daily inspections. It saves time for the officer — inspections can happen in as little as two minutes, McKay said — and ensures that all inspection data goes to a central source instead of being lost, forgotten or inadvertently altered in those notebooks. The tool also can produce photos that help agency supervisors address equipment issues “proactively,” . Memories and handwritten notebooks can be faulty, after all. Digital cloud-based tools like this tend to have sharper recall — and that can make a big difference in extending the life of expensive patrol cars or SUVs, which undergo a rough, around-the-clock existence. As McKay noted, “there was a shortage of cars after COVID.” because of chip shortages, other supply chain disruptions and inflated demand. Police departments were not exempt from those problems, , though there is concern about . Indeed, reportedly that officers can’t immediately find cars at the beginning of shifts. Making sure patrol vehicles are well maintained — something that happens via planning and regular inspections — promises to keep those cars and SUVs running for longer, which can be especially attractive given the relatively long purchasing cycles for governments. That’s one of the main appeals of the new tech being used in Kirkland, McKay said. That’s not the only bonus, he said. The new technology can help departments win accreditation from oversight agencies. indicates the department operates according to the highest law enforcement standards and which can, at least in theory, build trust between the public and police. McKay said the involves outside police experts going through the department “with a fine-toothed comb,” analyzing all types of processes, including daily vehicle inspections. Not only can new digital tools help make the case that a department takes inspections seriously, but the digital records provide data for accreditation authorities to check, helping make the case that a particular agency deserves that particular praise.
