“Who said bread pudding is just for dessert?” asks David Venable, the beloved host of QVC’s "In The Kitchen With David." "Frozen waffles cut your prep time in half. Slice the waffles into pieces and layer them in a baking dish. A quick custard sauce of beaten eggs and half-and-half is poured over the top before the dish goes into the oven. Once baked, each portion is topped with a big spoonful of mixed berries tossed with maple syrup."
