Men love ANY food. I have sent homemade chocolate chip cookies into work with my man, and he said they never last more than an hour. Men eat anything up! Don't be worried. They love cookies, brownies, i would not start out with making some kind of dinner food, a dessert or sweet is sure to go over well. Good Luck, it makes your guy feel good too when he does it.

Sandwiches of course. If you'd like to be gourmet about it, get pita bread, the round bread, when cut in half and opened, resembles a pocket. Get some bean sprouts, turkey and chicken, very thinly sliced, spinach leaves, and some Italian dressing from the deli at the store. Romona tomatoes, the little bright red ones, and one large red onion. Mix the red onion and a small amount of dressing in a bowl. Oh, cut the onion into little half rings. Be careful how much dressing to use, you don't want the sandwiches to taste to bold. Put all the ingredients together in the pita pockets. Add alittle dressing and serve. You can buy also, lime Tostitos so they can munch on chips that are healthy as well. They'll love you. Good luck.

Don't go too fancy...it will have all the guys sayin' WTF?!?!
I'm not very domestic, but I love to bake cookies, I'll make the dough and then split it four different ways, add chocolate chips to one bit of dough, orange cranberry to another, etc you pick the adds...and send him to work with a basket. Everyone loves it 'cause there's something for everyone.
The other thing I've made is lasagne and it goes over pretty big...it's all they request so I've never made anything else.
