These meal prep places are too expensive and not that great, they need to lower their prices by 25%> better off going to the prepare food at Wegmans or whole foods

PP adding that Dinner Done, also now defunct, was s good option for this. It was one of those meal prep places - remember that trend? - and I think thx last one in the area. You could go there and meal prep like 8-12 meals in 2 hours or have them just deliver prepped meals to you. It was quite reasonably priced as well. I didn’t love the food but I recall finding it useful years ago for just after one of my kids was born.

Maybe a business opportunity did someone to open meal prep 2.0?

What would be nice is an option for family style meals delivered. Vegetable and Butcher and similar sound good but everyone gets their own thing. The nice thing about the now defunct Galley was that they had family meals. I’m sure there are small local personal chef type services that would do this but I feel like it’s kind of word of mouth.

Depending on the circumstances telling OP to meal prep, crockpot etc may not be feasible. I like to cook but if you are dealing with a family emergency or something it’s hard to have the bandwidth for that also.
