She likely needs more time to settle into her new home. You can encourage her to eat her kibble by playing games/trick training. I hand-fed most of Max's kibble his first year that way. He performed sits and other obedience things for me and I would reward him with a kibble from his dish. I also used his kibble for potty rewards.

Forget the bouion cubes -- not good for your pup. I would also not recommend adding enticements, people food or whatnot, because you will only train her to hold out for everything but what she should be eating.

Additions to her regular kibble should not exceed 10% of her diet, otherwise you run the risk of un-balancing her diet and making her sick.

Give her time. She will eat, especially if you act excited about the kibble. If you fret about the kibble, she will pick up on that.
