Now, in her new cookbook Mama Bell's Big Family Cooking, she's sharing how she nourishes her hungry brood. "I have always loved cooking and baking for my loved ones, and each time our family grew on our adoption journey, I had to expand my recipes and create new ones that helped each child feel welcomed and comfortable," says Bell, who has over 700,000 followers on Instagram.
