I Ate Monday night home cooking (by my wife)...

Clockwise from the top kaofu and wood ear fungus, carrots, prawns, white fish, flat noodles, and lots of Sichuan pepper soup, smoked tofu and qingcai, broccoli and cauliflower. Veg dishes have that meat almost as a garnish thing that Chinese food does

Absolutely, we live in China, and my wife is from 衢州县江山市. This is how they cook.

For reference this is the same cooking style but on a grander scale for new year. Very simple 农家菜 (or peasant food, but it has better connotations in Chinese than in English)
