Once created first model/resource - and have spec files
(Need to have run first migration and seeded some data)

Break down what you want each model/controller etc to do - e.g. what do I want to get out of the Ingredient model?

Controller test
Write test controller spec for model_spec.rb file BEFORE doing anything in controller.
Test failures will tell you what you need to do...
- action
- template, view
- list e.g. Ingredient.all

- write test
- run test, watch fail
- write code to pass test
- run test, watch pass


View/Feature tests
Write test in features spec folder, for user view
rails generate rspec:feature UserCanViewListMeals
