Responsive Recipe Page with HTML and CSS

Solution retrospective
This is the first time that i've had to make a website that adjusts for desktop and mobile viewing. I went through many iterations trying to get it right and honestly I don't think that i've gone about it in the best way but it works. Using media queries definitely gave me a run for my money but it turns out i was just overcomplicating things.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?Media queries really got to me but in the end I think I have it figured out on a basic level. Definitely still have a lot of learning to do but this helped me jump through a lot of hoops that I was struggling with.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?Specifically how to write out media queries. I wasn't entirely sure what i should include in them. I have basically my entire css copied into a media query but I have a feeling that all i need to include is the parameters that I changed to make it work instead of all of the CSS code. I would really love some feedback on that and anything else that you find is a little wonky.

Media queries help make webpage look good on all screens, for example if you have a rule that you want to apply only on large (desktop) screens you can set:
@media (width > 1024px) { /* If the width of the browser window is 1024px or larger, apply these styles */ }
If you pasted all the code in media query, you can delete it, because it's already applied to all screens if it's declared outside of the media query.
Example of how the media query is used:
Let's say you set
padding: 10px
on main, but on larger screens you need bigger padding to make layout look good:main { padding: 10px; } @media (width > 1024px) { main { padding: 20px; }
On screens smaller than 1024px <main> will have 10px padding and on screens larger than 1024px it will have 20px padding.
It helps to make site responsive on all screen sizes.
You did brilliant job on the challenge, keep it up.

Great job, Dexter! The thing which can help you out in media queries is starting with mobile view first. The design doesn't "breaks" when you're scaling things for larger viewports - so it's easier starting from mobile working on larger width in media queries.
