Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Edamam API, how did you try querying the API?	Looked at their documentation (simple but maybe not super robust). Played around in Postman.
Describe your API Wrapper. How did you decide on the methods you created?	I put my search methods for the API in there along with quite a few constants.
Describe an edge case or failure case test you wrote for your API Wrapper.	I wrote a test for checking if the required information to create a Recipe instance weren't present.
Explain how VCR aids in testing an API.	It helps us not blow our 5 calls/minute API restriction LOL. It stores API responses for specific interactions, so we save time and calls.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application?	https://findmetherecipe.herokuapp.com/

Fixed the external link thing, totally didn't check for that!

I've been looking for ways to handle the placeholder text (ex disappear on focus, etc) but haven't found a way that works with css/html only and foundation yet. It annoys me, too, but apparently is the more appropriate option (so says Stack...) for the purposes where it's required. Since this isn't critical, I could make it go away... But it also slowed me down when going through my site... 5 calls per minute, ya know?
