The spread of the horrific Coronavirus that originated in China has reached Canadian borders, with the Prime Minister Justin\u00a0Trudeau\u2019s wife, Sophie Gregoire, testing\u00a0positive for COVID-19. She is one of the over 8000 cases recorded on Canadian soil so far, and while 1200 people have recovered, more than a 100 have lost their lives to the virus.<\/p>\n
Like many countries across the world, Trudeau had to close the Canadian borders to non-citizens and advise the population to self isolate, work from home, stay cautious, report and look out for symptoms.<\/p>\n
Like most Canadians we are following the rules, but the past weeks of staying at home has been tough, especially for my outdoorsy and social nearly-five-year-old son Aryan. Keeping him engaged has not been easy. While he has been extremely understanding, we had to look for ways of keeping him engaged and happy.<\/p>\n
Aryan is a foodie and home-cooked food is his weak spot. Being a chef’s son, Aryan is exposed to healthy food habits along with the occasional indulgences.<\/p>\n
Under my supervision, but with very little help, Aryan has been able to make a batch of exceptionally tasty vanilla cupcakes with cream-cheese frosting. The cupcakes are healthy, the ingredients easy to source, and the method is really simple and ideal for beginners.<\/p>\n\r\n
