Thanksgiving Recipes From 'Morning Edition' Listeners
Last week, amateur cook and writer Maureen Evans told us how to tweet a recipe in 140 characters or less and broke down the code from her Twitter cookbook, Eat Tweet. Then we asked listeners to give it a try, and we're compiling some of our favorites:

DAVID GREENE, HOST:
And we are hours away from Thanksgiving. If you wait too long to decide on a menu, it might be slim pickings at the grocery store. So for those of you still looking for a little culinary inspiration, we've got just the thing - courtesy of your fellow MORNING EDITION listeners.
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
Last week, we asked you to send us your favorite recipes on Twitter using the hash tag #NPRcooks. It's not easy cramming a recipe into 140 characters, and we're happy to report that many of you rose to the challenge.
GREENE: You sure did. Monica Sharman from Colorado Springs, Colorado, sent us four recipes. She says there is a trick to squeezing all of that goodness into a tweet.
MONICA SHARMAN: When I cook, I don't measure anything. So I didn't have to put any amounts down usually.
GREENE: Who needs to measure? One of Monica's Twitter concoctions especially caught our eye because, frankly, it seemed like a bit of a throw down being sent to NPR at this time of year. Susan Stamberg, cover your ears.
SHARMAN: Cranberry relish, processed coarsely, one pound fresh cranberries, one to two cups walnuts...
GREENE: I guess, maybe, we need to call this mama Sherman's cranberry relish?
MONTAGNE: And having you cram your recipes into a tweet did cause us some confusion. Do b. sprouts mean Brussels sprouts or bean sprouts?
GREENE: Well, that is a very good question, Renee. Either way, Allison Krumsick (ph) of Takoma Park, Maryland, thinks you should bake whatever they are in bacon grease
MONTAGNE: Whatever they are. OK, another contributor with the Twitter handle @beerspy found a loophole in our rules, using two tweets - one for his pumpkin pie filling with brown ale and another for his gingerbread crust.
GREENE: Very sneaky. You can find these recipes and many others online at npr.org. And please keep them coming, we'll keep highlighting the best as the holidays continue. Just don't forget that hash tag, #NPRcooks. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
