Yes, once you've said the Hamotzie, you are exempt from reciting any other blessing for the rest of the meal.


There are two exceptions to this rule:
1. You still have to make a blessing over wine or grape-juice.
2. You also have to make a blessing on anything that isn't normally eaten as an appetizer or entr饮 For example, cake, cookies or fruit.
