Sun dried tomato, Red pepper, and Feta dip

A few months ago I attended my friend Christen's engagement party. There was an orange dip. I fell in love with it. I then spent the next month or so attempting to get ahold of the recipe from her, and after various emails amongst her aunts, I finally received a copy.
