User Stories

• As a user, I want to be able to search for food and cocktail recipes
• As a user, I want to search for recipes and save them to a list in order to access them later
• As a user, I want to add guests to a list and include likes, dislikes, and/or sensitivities/allergies
• As a user I want to flag saved guests and recipes to be displayed together on one page, and then go to that page to see my party plan.

---

Development Plan

• Access spoonacular and cocktaildb APIs and save recipes to app database, accessible only by logged in user. Create user-accessible guest list.
• Add saved recipes/guests to a party plan, allowing the user to see all three elements on one page.
• Expand features and improve styling to optimize UX/UI

Stretch Goals

• Improve styling
• Modify code for accessibility
• Implement full CRUD functionality for saved recipes and cocktails.
• Allow for multiple instances of party plans that can be saved and displayed at will by the user.
• Develop functionality to flag food or drink in the party plan that match up to a guest's allergies/sensitivities.
