i dont have an oven...

....and you might-

so- here's something special for you to make (recipe i found online while browsing)::

Low-fat whole wheat pumpkin spice cookies

3/4 c. pumpkin
1/2 c. + 2 tbsp. fat-free plain yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. raisins
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. allspice
unsweetened applesauce, if necessary

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with cooking spray. Combine pumpkin, yogurt and vanilla in one mixing bowl. Combine dry ingredients and raisins in another. Mix wet into dry until moist. (When working with whole wheat flour, you might need a little oomph for moisture. I use unsweetened applesauce.) Drop tablespoons of the mixture onto baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Eat them quickly, or freeze them; they're prone to stickiness. I've used dried cranberries in place of raisins, too. Verdict: yum.

i do have an oven, but the thought of making cookies from scratch is too much to comprehend. i don't deserve an oven. you should have it.
