Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange the stuffed triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and spinach filling.

Coffee Gelato
This Italian-style coffee gelato does not contain eggs and will melt quickly when removed from the cold. You can add more ground coffee if you prefer a stronger taste. It is recommended to eat when ready, but you can store it for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the freezer.
Delicious Chicken Casserole
This Delicious Chicken Casserole combines chicken, soup, rice, and sour cream into a meal everyone likes. The first time I made this we had company for dinner. Everyone had second helpings.
Chef John's Hot Dog Buns
Don't get me wrong; if you hand me a hot dog at the ball game, it's not like I'm going to throw it back in your face, but given the choice this butter-crisped, split-topped bun is the way to go. Thanks to its genius design the meat and fixings go in the top, which leaves three relatively flat sides to toast in butter.
