White Bean and Artichoke Dip and BlogHer Food Recap
Updated October 06, 2020
I have been blessed with unbelievable friends throughout my life-siblings, school pals, college buds, roommates, co-workers, and blogging acquaintances. I enjoyed the BlogHer Food conference for numerous reasons, but spending time with blogging friends was definitely the highlight. Sitting in a room with hundreds of my friends evoked emotion that I cannot put into words. It was refreshing to surround myself with friends that inspire and motivate me to become a better person. Today, I am sharing a few photos from BlogHer Food and a recipe for white bean and artichoke dip. I would gladly serve this dip to any and all of my friends.
BlogHer Food was one big party from start to finish. The weekend was filled with presentations, socializing, the Ferry Building’s farmers market, food, and a lot of parties.

I finally met Dorie Greenspan-my life is now complete:) She is just as sweet, if not sweeter, than her baked goods.

On Saturday we took a little field trip to the Ferry Building to explore the farmers market. It was a beautiful day!

Getting a little silly!
I wish I would of taken more photos, but I was too busy having fun. I loved every minute of BlogHer Food. I can’t wait until next year. Thanks friends for making BlogHer Food a weekend I’ll never forget.
Now time for the white bean and artichoke dip. This is one of my favorite recipes. I make it for parties, games, snacking, or even to put on sandwiches. It is easy and everyone always asks for the recipe, so here it is! Enjoy!

Awww I’m so sad I didn’t go to BlogHerFood! Such awesome photos and it’s obvious you had a blast! I hope to get there next year 🙂 The dip looks wonderful!
This sounds great! I made a similar recipe on my blog but with greek yogurt instead of white beans. I’m going to try this one out!
I love the idea of using Greek yogurt!
So jealous!! I’m really hoping that things will work out so that I can go next year. And the bean dip sounds amazing!

Looks like BlogHer was so much fun! Thank you sharing this recipe – I usually make a chickpea dip like this, but white beans sounds like a way to vary up that recipe.
The dip looks incredible. I absolutely love artichokes although in Thailand, where I live, they’re much more difficult to come by. Will definitely be trying this though. I love a good dip.
Mmm, this sounds so easy and tasty! Looks like you all had a fabulous time at the conference!
Looks like you guys has a great time!!! And saw some famous faces, too! 🙂
Love white bean dip! This type of thing can usually be found in my fridge on any given day… the perfect snack
First off, that dip looks incredible and it’s an amazing photo! It looks like you had such a fabulous time at BlogHer Food, I can’t wait to go next year!
You are coming next year so you can be my roomie:)

I just made this and it was really easy to make. I would have liked a bit more of a kick, but I loved the texture and there is no more left, so it was good!
