GINGER SNAPS
Jonina Campbell was the top vote-getter in November's school trustee election. The Royal City resident and Richmond teacher chose her recipe with the help of her children.
"We've decided to go with the ginger snap recipe that we make at Christmas," said Campbell about a recipe that she borrowed from The Best of Bridge. "This recipe can also be used to make gingerbread men as well."
