Spicy Spinach Pinwheels

Submitted by Luby Luby Luby

"These are so simple to make and you can do them ahead of time and just place in refrigerator until ready to use. I have a potato ricer that I use to squeeze all the water out of frozen spinach. The original recipe called for 6 green onions, but I found that to be a bit much, but feel free to use all six if you like. This recipe came from a cookbook called "True Grits" in Atlanta, GA. The cook time is the chill tiime."
