Bring some pre-cooked foil packet meals for the first night. You can even use left overs. Make the danged kids carry them
Put them in the freezer the night before and they shoudl be thawed and easy to warm up on the first night you are there with the fam.
I like to mix fried garlic rice, diced onions and tomatoes, and chopped up chicharron (deep fried pork bellies). I bring a small lemon and squeeze it on as I eat with a spoon - less complicated because everything is pre-cut.
