+
+## How It’s Made:
+**Tech used:** HTML, CSS, JavaScript  
+
+The Lazy Gourmet uses two public APIs — **TheMealDB** for recipes and **OpenFoodFacts** for nutrition — to serve up ingredients, instructions, and nutrient info in one place.  
+The layout reads like a cookbook page, with a “Chef’s Note” ribbon and a cozy kitchen background that keeps everything warm and inviting.
+

+
+## Optimizations
+- Add a “Favorites” section using localStorage  
+- Include measurement amounts for each ingredient  
+- Add smooth fade-ins for recipe steps  
+- Show related or random recipe suggestions  
+
+---
+
+## Lessons Learned
+- Combining multiple APIs cleanly into a single user flow  
+- Building a responsive UI that works across devices  
+- Balancing design readability with visual texture (backgrounds + overlays)  
+- Keeping a project fun while still polished and functional
