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.

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.

Swift herself, we think this recipe is a mastermind, especially if you’ve been asked to bring the sweet potato side dish to this year’s Thanksgiving feast.

In a large bowl, whisk sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar and remaining ingredients until slightly lumpy. Transfer to a greased baking dish, smoothing surface evenly.

Recession fears have eased, boosting investor confidence in the stock market. Albert Edwards warns a market pullback could come without a recession, however. Rising Treasury yields and drying liquidity could hurt stocks with valuations high. Recession fears have largely dissipated since this summer, bolstering investor confidence in a roaring stock market. But Albert Edwards wants investors to remember that equities at historically expensive levels don't need an economic downturn to suffer a pullback. The bearish Societe Generale strategist known for calling the dot-com bubble said in a November 21 client note that the relentless market rally could be due for a reversal — no recession necessary. His argument starts with the fact that valuations are high. There are many ways to measure how pricey a market is, and Edwards shared a few novel examples. For one, US stocks are now three-quarters of the MSCI world index. Then there's the S&P 500's 12-month forward PE relative to its 12-month trailing PE — basically an indicator of how much forward optimism may be getting ahead of itself. It's shown below on the left. The chart on the right side above shows the widely followed Shiller CAPE ratio. By itself, it shows the market is as costly as it was around the top of prior bubbles. But it's also very expensive relative to European stocks, which have historically traded at similar valuation levels to US stocks. The second part of Edwards' argument is that liquidity is drying up in the sense that the Fed is shrinking its balance sheet, which can be bad news when valuations are high. Here's the CrossBorder Capital's Global Liquidity Index, shown in black, which has dipped on a six-week basis. It implies bitcoin, a speculative asset, should be due for a drop in price versus six weeks ago. Rising 10-year Treasury yields could also cause liquidity to dry up, as investors who hold the asset will have taken a loss by selling it. Higher yields also attract capital away from stocks, as Treasurys are risk-free. Edwards said rising yields will eventually put a damper on the stock market, especially with valuations continuing to climb. "To be fair, full blown equity bear markets (-20% or worse) really only ever occur in recessions when both profits and valuations plunge. Alternatively, sharply rising bond yields can cause problems to equities in a high PE environment – such as now," Edwards said. "This is a case of an elastic band stretching to breaking point – the 1987 equity crash would be a good example." He listed a couple more examples: "Just look at the equity euphoria back in 2018, which initially shrugged off rising bond yields – until they didn't. The same happened in 2022. At some point rising bond yields will just as surely begin to hurt equities." Edwards has a fairly poor track record recently, having had a downbeat view on stocks and the economy while the market has soared and the economy has held up. He himself admits this in the November 21 note. So perhaps take his views with a grain of salt. Still, he did foresee the 2000-2002 bear market, and provides, at the very least, logical arguments that are food for thought, as rallies and expansions don't last forever.
