Trader Joe's

Blood Orange Mochi

This brand-new Trader Joe's dessert has already earned itself cult-favorite status, thanks to its super summery flavors. Featuring pockets of blood orange ice cream wrapped in a layer of chewy mochi dough, you'll basically want to eat the whole box the second you taste 'em.

Trader Joe's

Yellow Mini Sheet Cake

You already know (and love) the chocolate and vanilla iterations of Trader Joe's sheet cake, so it's great news that the grocer just revamped the dessert with this Yellow Mini Sheet Cake that's 100% gluten-free! For just $6, you get a hearty layer of yellow cake topped with plenty of chocolate icing, perfect for sharing with a party or just snacking on by yourself (I prefer the latter).

Trader Joe's

Chicken Chile Verde Burritos

I already know my next easy lunch plan – it's with these "heavenly" frozen burritos! Crafted with a mixture of tender dark and white meat chicken, these $4 (for a 2-count) wraps are fully flavored with a chile verde that boasts crushed tomatillos, green chiles, jalapeños, and Anaheim peppers. Spicy!

Trader Joe's

Shrimp Noodle Rolls

Oh, these look so good. Inspired by Chinese dim sum, these tiny rolls are filled with a savory shrimp mixture that'll satisfy you for hours. Plus, the rice noodles they're made with turn out with an addicting steamed-yet-fried texture once you cook them for a few minutes in a pan. They'd be so great alongside a homemade stir fry!

Trader Joe's

Crispy Oatmeal Cookies with Sea Salt

Sea salt will never not elevate a cookie, and these new oatmeal cookies from TJ's are no exception to the rule! These "perfectly baked" buttery cookies carry notes of butterscotch, which is ultimately complemented really well by the sea salt flakes sprinkled on top.

Trader Joe's

Double Cream Brie

Brie lovers, rise up! Trader Joe's ensured this $4 wheel was manufactured with at least 60% butterfat, making its texture extra creamy. Whether you enjoy it as a dip for crackers or spread it on top of a flatbread, you'll get the "awesomely ooey, irresistably gooey, and oh-so-delicious" effect that TJ's highlights.

Trader Joe's

Chocolate Coffee Flavored Granola

As a granola girly, this new TJ's find is definitely on the top of my list to try in March. Chocolate and coffee are already great on their own, but when combined, they get even better. This mix of rolled oats, rice and oat flours, cane sugar, and honey is flavored oh-so nicely with cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and coffee extract for a sweet treat you can enjoy anytime – whether it's with your morning Greek yogurt or as a midnight snack with ice cream!

Trader Joe's

Beef, Bean & Cheese Burrito

Trader Joe's latest addition to their frozen burrito lineup includes this beef, bean, and cheese burrito. All this $4 baby needs is a few minutes in the microwave to transform into an easy mid-day snack, lunch, or on-the-go dinner!

Trader Joe's

Soft Pretzel Twists

These soft pretzels are undoubtedly going to fill the void as I patiently await baseball season. This $3 pack includes a handful of "savory and slightly sweet" pretzels and salt packets to cure your carb + sodium cravings in an instant. They're great on their own, but you could also use 'em as a dipping vessel for beer cheese or even slice each one open for a hot dog moment. Yummm.

Trader Joe's

Cheesy Bagels

As much as I am a sweets gal, I can't resist a savory bagel from time to time! These $3 Cheesy Bagels are perfect for a savory breakfast or lunch since they boast a "cheesy, chewy crust" topped with pre-melted shredded Asiago cheese.

The 2025 Oscars have come and gone. In addition to some incredible noms, like A Real Pain for Original Screenplay, Wicked for Best Picture, and Anora's Mikey Madison for Best Actress, there were some serious snubs. Because what do you mean Challengers didn't get nominated for ANYTHING?! Considering it won Best Score at the Golden Globes, I'd have thought it had that nomination secured, but the Academy had other plans.

Here's the full list of 2025 Oscar winners.

The Craziest 2025 Oscar nomination snubs.

Amazon MGM Studios

I really can't believe Zendaya didn't get nominated for her performance in Challengers. Her viral "crazy eyes" scene generated enough conversation to give her a nom in my opinion. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking, Wow, I've never seen her make that face before, can we replay that? And, of course, I'm mourning the fact the movie didn't get nominated for Best Score. "Match Point" playing during the ending of the movie will always be an Oscar-winning moment to me!

But in addition to Z, Selena Gomez also didn't get nominated for her role as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, despite the fact the movie got a total of 13 nominations.

My group chat immediately blew up when we realized Sing Sing wasn't nominated for Best Picture.

Gilmore Girls fans know the show like the back of their hand, but considering the show lasted 7 seasons, it makes sense that there's tons of trivia. Like the fact season 7 wasn't supposed to be the finale, or creator Amy Sherman-Palladino placed the series in a small town because she didn't know any of her neighbors growing upand wanted different for Rory.

But there's one foundational detail about Gilmore Girls you might not have known, and it could change the way you watch the show forever: apparently actress Alexis Bledel didn't like coffee! Yep, that's right. Here's how they supposedly got away with Rory drinking a cup o' Joe in every single episode.

Here's what Alexis Bledel reportedly had in her mug when Rory Gilmore drank coffee — and a surprising comment Alexis made about the drink.

Rory Gilmore loves coffee...but Alexis Bledel allegedly didn't.

Warner Bros. TV

One of the most recognizable details in Gilmore Girls is Lorelai and Rory's love for coffee. They drink it like water, and a clip from the show went viral for Rory sobbing about having to give it up. Well, Alexis Bledel probably wasn't that heartbroken because according to HuffPost, the actress didn't actually like coffee while filming the show (although according to Lauren Graham, “There is always coffee in my cup.”)

Considering one of the most viral and recognizable clips from the whole show is Rory sobbing about having to give up coffee — "And I love coffee!" — that is a shocking detail!

Netflix

However, Alexis Bledel might have actually set the record straight on the longstanding claim she always had soda in her mug instead (which seems to originally come from YourTango in 2013). Ahead of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016, the actress told Marie Claire that she loves any "winter beverage."

"Give me a hot drink and I’m happy," she says. "Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!" You and me both sister.

There's a good chance Alexis' tastes changed from filming in 2000 and filming in 2016. There's also a good chance she did actually like coffee the whole time. But don't worry — we reached out to her reps for comment.

ICYMI, Starbucks is cutting 13 staple drinks from their menu. Even if your go-to order is no longer, there’s no need to fret – the chain still has plenty of similar options to choose from! As a former barista, I can guarantee you’ll find an alternative Starbucks order you love – one you just might love more than your previous drink!

Scroll on to see the 13 Starbucks drinks disappearing from menus starting March 4, plus what to order instead to satisfy your cravings.

Starbucks

Iced Matcha Lemonade

Alternative order: Green Tea Lemonade

Though Starbucks’ Green Tea Lemonade doesn’t have any matcha in it, you’ll still get a kick from the caffeinated green tea included in the sip. Plus, it’s still crafted with lemonade, so the citrus notes you like in the OG won’t be missed.

Starbucks

Espresso Frappuccino

Alternative order: Coffee Frappuccino

The Starbucks Espresso Frappuccino will be taken off menus on March 4, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your frozen espresso fix. Their Coffee Frappuccino is a great alternative order because it still boasts sweet coffee and can be easily customized with an additional shot of espresso.

Starbucks

Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino

Alternative order: Coffee Frappuccino

The Coffee Frappuccino is another reliable alternative for Starbucks’ Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino since you still get a taste of coffee. If vanilla is what you're craving, you can easily request a few pumps of vanilla syrup as a customization.

Starbucks

Java Chip Frappuccino

Alternative order: Mocha Frappuccino

I’m honestly sad to see the Java Chip Frappuccino go. It’s been my go-to order since I was a kid, and I still order it on occasion when I want a little ‘treat myself’ moment. Luckily the Mocha Frappuccino will stay on Starbucks menus and gives a similar chocolate-coffee flavor.

Starbucks

White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino

Alternative order: Mocha Frappuccino

I fear there’s not a totally similar alternative order to the bygone White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino, but it’s very possible that you could order the Mocha Frappuccino with white chocolate sauce instead of the regular mocha to situate your white chocolate cravings.

Starbucks

Crème Frappuccinos (Chai, Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Double Chocolaty Chip, Chocolate Cookie Crumble, White Chocolate)

Alternative order: Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

Starbucks’ beloved non-caffeinated Crème Frappuccinos will no longer be offered starting March 4. Instead, I recommend trying out the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and customizing it with your desired flavor – Starbucks still has so many syrups.

Starbucks

White Hot Chocolate

Alternative order: Hot Chocolate

Though the “official” White Hot Chocolate will no longer be available, Starbucks says you can still customize a regular Hot Chocolate with either mocha or white chocolate mocha sauce.

Starbucks

Royal English Breakfast Latte

Alternative order: London Fog Latte

Where the discontinued Royal English Breakfast Latte includes, well, Royal English Breakfast tea, you can still get the same sweet floral notes from a London Fog Latte.

Starbucks

Honey Almondmilk Flat White

Alternative order: Flat White

The Honey Almondmilk Flat White is sadly going away, but you can actually still order it, as long as you request some customizations that make it the exact same drink. Starting March 4, order the Flat White with almond milk and honey – or any milk and flavor of your choice!
