Not sure how to add a hash into an array inside of another hash.

I'm stuck, I'm guessing I have to create a method that does this task. Just not sure how to create that method. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

def grocery_item_list

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

grocery_list['items'].push(grocery_item)

FYI: push
