Inserting a hash into an array that's nested inside of a hash

So, my code seems to be working in irb. I can't seem to get past the challenge though! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

shopping_list.rb 
grocery_list = { 'title' => 'Grocery List', 'items' => [] }
grocery_item = { 'title' => 'Bread', 'quantity' => 1 }

grocery_list['items'] = grocery_item

This passes the challenge: 

grocery_list = { 'title' => 'Grocery List', 'items' => [] }
grocery_item = { 'title' => 'Bread', 'quantity' => 1 }

grocery_list["items"][0] = grocery_item

Hope this helps... :) Be sure to mark Best Answer!
