Dagwood Sandwich - My kids love a Dagwood sandwich so this was a hit. There are probably a zillion types of Dagwoods, the real key is that it's a tall sandwich.

101 Chicken Salad - This is your very basic chicken salad and it was great. My 10 year old made this up for school lunches and he loved it. It's very light and fresh tasting.
