Brachot on Mitzvot
There are certain things that we do because we have been commanded to, and the bracha on these mitzvot includes the phrase "asher kidishanu" indicating that Hashem commanded us to perform these mitzvot.

Why then do we not have such brachot for

1. Making motzi (since the bread defines the se'udah and we are commanded to make a se'udah on holidays)

2. being mekadesh the day (shabbat and yom tov) -- if kiddush is an obligation, why not say so in our kiddush?

3. bentching -- isn't this a Torah level obligation? If so, why do we not say that Hashem commanded us?
