Where did it specify that the recipes were to be our own original recipes? I thought it was supposed to be our favorite recipes. And as the poster previously stated, all recipes come from SOMEWHERE...there's nothing truly original out there. All you have to do is change ONE ingredient to make it "original" anyway. The rule is, that a collection of recipes can be copyrighted; an individual recipe cannot. I have recipes that have come from everywhere, and a lot that I got from other people; whether they are their own "original" recipes or not, I have no idea. Some of the recipes I submitted are my mom's or my "original" recipe and I don't give a hoot whether someone takes them and puts them in any cookbook or website and makes money off them. More power to them. And, to set the record straight, I was never claiming that all the recipes I submitted as MINE, nor did I suppose the all the other recipes submitted are "original" recipes.
