Recipes shared on Facebook.

Facebook.com is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, but it's also serving as a platform for sharing favorite recipes.

Some of the dishes are delish, and others don't live up to the endorsements and accompanying photographs. 

Bottom line, you won't know how good the recipe is until you taste it! Here's a promising cinnamon bread recipe from Easy Recipes, Healthy Eating Facebook page. 

Several commenters said you need to bake the bread at least an hour or more-- so the center bakes through.
