[Python] Tkinter Python: How can I use the Frame Widget to put my labels in line with one...

I am a newbie at programming. I'm using Tkinter in Python. I am trying to make it so the labels in my program will be side by side with one another (with a little space in between, maybe like 50 pixels). The two labels I would like to have side by side are: "ingredients" and "steps". I have tried creating a frame so that they could be next to each other, but the ingredients is always above the steps, not side by side. I looked at other questions on StackOverflow but I couldn't quiet apply them to my program. So can I make it so my two labels, steps and ingredients, are side by side with some space in between. Would I continue using the frame or would I use .grid or something else?

Any help is greatly appreciated!! And if you could add comments in your code so I know what you are doing, that would be great! Thank you!
