If you are unsure as to whether you may legally submit a recipe for our Bipolar Weight Control Recipe Collection, here are some guidelines:

A list of ingredients may not be copyrighted. Instructions for putting them together can.
Collections of recipes can be copyrighted.

What this means is, you should not just copy a recipe from a book, magazine or similar source and submit it. But if you have taken that recipe and tweaked it in some way - adding another ingredient, perhaps, or changing or clarifying the instructions - then you may share the recipe freely. Recipes that have been handed down in your family and never copyrighted are fair to share, too.
