A TikToker brings restaurant-style salad bars into her own home.

Melanie Cade, 37, of Alabama, went viral on TikTok after sharing a video of her impressive salad bar, which she stocks every week for her husband and nine children.

In the video, which has been viewed over 7.5 million times, Cade – who goes by @raisingcades10 – showed herself stocking the salad bar with fresh lettuce, mushrooms, hard-boiled eggs, turkey breast, fresh broccoli and other toppings.

She said she restocks the salad bar “once or twice a week,” depending on “how busy” people are and “how often” they eat from it. Both the lower and upper sections of the freestanding bar are refrigerated, which maximizes storage space and food selection, she noted.

While there is a salad bar upstairs, the table downstairs is filled with bagels, cream cheese and other ingredients for sandwiches, as well as fresh fruit. She also has a “basket with all our dressings and dips” and juices for her children.

Cade, a busy mother of nine, said in the clip that the routine “gives us a quick meal option because the salad bar is always stocked and open.”

She added: “And my children are more likely to choose fresh produce when it is already prepared and ready to eat.”

Cade tells PEOPLE that her family makes sure to use up all of their food eventually so it doesn’t go to waste.

“Before any leftover ingredients go bad, I either pull them out and freeze them for recipes or use them in something I’m cooking (like) spaghetti, omelets (and) pizza,” she says.

When asked what her family’s favorite ingredients are on the salad bar, the Alabama mom replies, “Boiled eggs ALWAYS come first,” followed by “the cheese and the peppers.”

Several TikTok users praised Cade for her unique idea in the comments on her TikTok video, with some joking that they would be live at her house if they could eat that well. “So I see the window in your kitchen. Is that drive-thru accessible? 😂 I’ll stop by and get a takeout please 😂,” one user joked.

Others said they wanted to implement a similar idea at home. One woman joked, “My husband doesn’t know yet, but we’re getting a salad bar.”

The sandwich station downstairs in the bar was even more tempting for some followers, with another commenting: “Would eat 5 sandwiches a day 😭.”
