Jill, the deal with recipes like that is

1. the good ones are stolen from another web site (although that one
is so bad, I doubt it).

2. They are "Like Harvesting" (AKA: Like Farming) and people
perpetrate it by liking and sharing to their friends list.

If you don't know what that is, it's easily Googled... include the
word: Facebook with your "what is" queried. Basically it's money.
They are building up a page with a lot of likes so they can sell it
and the new owners can pretend they generated all those likes.
