Why can’t you cook at their house? I don’t get it. When we visit my parents, we do help out by grocery shopping and cooking. My parents eat low-salt and low-fat, so take-out and prepared foods don’t work if there’s a home-cooked alternative.

And you’re cooking for a party of 10 for these visits? Cooking for 10 for 3 meals a day for at least 3 days? Or oh wait are you only cooking for your immediate family and your parents. Got it.[/quote]

PP you replied to. This is why I added that BIL and SIL can also take turns cooking. We're usually 6 (our family of 4 plus my parents), or sometimes more if my aunts and uncles come. Sometimes my husband cooks. My father takes his turn as well. My mother is handicaped and can't cook. We hardly ever get take-out or buy ready-made, just because I actually think it's important that we all eat like my parents - it's way healthier.

We prepare meals for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is not cooked (cereal, yogurt, fruit, or toast and cheese). In the summer, we eat lots of mixed salads. The rest of the time it's often a pasta meal with chicken and broccoli or other green veggies, or a Japanese dish, since my father is Japanese. None of it is hard to do. We don't go for complicated stuff.
