Maple Pecan Pie- Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.  We had a great, relaxing day with our little family and a good Portuguese friend.  She brought us delicious homemade flan- it's really yummy.  I need to get the recipe from her.

I made a maple pecan pie, using Vermont maple syrup instead of the traditional corn syrup.  I love maple pecan pie.  I added some extra pecans, too.  I found this recipe from Taste of Home.
