Not sure what is wrong here.

I am using the send method on the response.

app.js
const express = require('express');
const posts = require("./mock/posts.json");

const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send("<h1>I Love Treehouse!</h1>");
});

app.get('/blog', (req, res) => {
  res.send({ posts });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("The frontend server is running on port 3000!")
});

Your confusion is understandable, I think the teacher (Andrew Chalkley) should have given an example of what that should look like or perhaps just made it clearer in the instructions. However, the fix is simple enough. "posts" is a variable, so to fix the problem simply change res.send({ posts });' to res.send( posts );

Hopefully that helps
