help with the string_factory question

i'm getting the error "didnt get all the expected output from string_factory"

strings.py 
dicts = [
    {'name': 'Michelangelo',
     'food': 'PIZZA'},
    {'name': 'Garfield',
     'food': 'lasanga'},
    {'name': 'Walter',
     'food': 'pancakes'},
    {'name': 'Galactus',
     'food': 'worlds'}
]

string = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"

def string_factory(dicts,string):
  string_list = []
  for item in dicts:
    string_list.append(string.format(**item))

    return string_list

Your return is inside your for loop so it's only every going to return the first time. You need to put the return outside of the for loop (un-indent it).
