I would close with "If that works for you, I'd be happy to proceed with putting you on my contact list for future openings."
If after that, she asks if you will cook a vegan only meal, I would tell her your schedule just does not allow for that.
Thank you! I think I just needed someone to tell me it is ok to say I can't cook vegan meals. I feel really bad, but I know if I agree to take that on I will soon regret it.
