If she isn't vomiting, no diarrhea, and behavior is normal this could just be a simple change in personality as she is getting older especially if she is coming back later to finish her bowl of food. Some dogs are what I call "food hounds" and they gobble all there food at once while others are "nibblers" or "grazers" and they take their time to eat and they eat throughout the day. Sometimes a puppy starts out as one and changes to the other. If she isn't finishing her food throughout the day or there are another of symptoms then I would contact your vet for an exam to ensure there isn't more serious going on like an infection, foreign body, etc. I hope this helps!
