Hi Aleea,

I am going to get my recipe binder and try to post a few after dinner. For now, I will explain the two challot: When G-d led the Jews out of Egypt, freeing them from slavery, he gave them manna to eat in the desert. Because he did not want them to have to gather the manna on the Sabbath, he gave them a double portion of manna on Fridays. That is where the tradition to make Hamotzi over two whole loaves on Friday nights comes from.
