Yes and: wrt (1), when I was first learning the troglodiet, I leaned into being a foodie. Switched my outlook from giving up the foods I liked to finding and embracing new foods to love. Some examples: sampling all the olive oils to see what I liked, getting fresh herbs and spices, noshing on excellent produce, using tasty sea salt vs table salt. wrt (2), for health reasons, I've had to severely simplify my life, especially food prep. That means lots of soups, chili, and porridge. So now I've got two pressure cookers and bins of bulk foods. Just toss some rice, beans, stock and whatever veggies I have into the pot. There was a transition phase of learning and habit forming. Ditto casseroles. (I'm still working on my protein strategy. Right now it's typically roasts and pulled pork.)
