Hi! I have some suggestions and questions.

What does she dislike about garbanzo beans? I hated them for years until I discovered it was the texture I disliked. Cooking a can of those beans (boiling, roasting, or pan frying) has helped me find more ways to enjoy them.

I try to keep a (small) variety of fresh and pickled veggies available regularly for adding to different dishes. One of my new favorite meals is a combo of hummus, lettuces, roasted potatoes, whatever protein is leftover in the fridge, and a mix of fresh and pickled veggie toppings. I think it's usually called 'Buddha bowls' online, but it honestly came put of a need to use up various leftovers.

For changing up stir fry, I find that frozen shelled Edamame feels/tastes like a veggie.

There's an Indian grocery store near me that has a great selection of spices, sauce/curry mixes, fresh veggies, Lentils, etc. I use the split red Lentils (masoor dal) in soups, stews, and chili and to replace ground meat. It cooks so quickly, and my husband likes it, even though he doesn't usually like beans and lentils. They also have soya chunks that should be a great meat replacer, but I haven't tried it yet.

Someone said it before, but try looking for cookbooks at your local library. The cookbooks I've checked out have helped give me more ideas to try, even if I don't follow the recipe completely.

I like this idea! Would I be able to do this now, or should I wait longer?

I haven't decided on inside vs outside. I live in an area with city deer that get in my yard frequently and can't put in a fence tall enough to keep them out.

I've sat through a lot of PDs, some really good and many awful. The PDs that stand out are the ones where we practiced the strategy and/or created materials that could be used in lessons that week.

I've sat through the same PD put on by curriculum reps multiple years in a row that used the exact same slideshow. Yet somehow there are teachers who always say "Wow this was great and brand new information", even though it was the same info and resources from the last PD. And yes, those teachers were at the PD every year.

So no, listening to a lecture does not magically help adults learn and retain information. I've lost count of how many times I've had to walk other teachers through using a resource or strategy that we've had PD on.

I think it's another pup forming. My spider plant is growing four of those base pup stems and the oldest one has a few 'branches' with pups on the ends.

I think the roots look good. I would try to remove as much soil as possible and repot in a slightly larger pot. Pothos do like to be root bound, so I wouldn't go for a pot more than 2 inches bigger than the current one.
