Pumpkin ravioli with sage butter or kebabs of cheese ravioli and roasted pumpkin cubes drizzled with sage butter

Apple, walnut and goat cheese salad could be served on apple slice instead of incorporating apples in the salad

You can probably skewer and roast seasonal vegetables (beet, squash, carrots, onions)

I also highly reccommend the book Entertaining Vegetarians By Celia Brooks Brown. There is an amazing recipe for spice crusted small potatoes and all the other recipes are excellent (such as eggplant olive truffle, orzo salad, sugarbeans salad, tajine).

Make chips from root veggies, like beets, carrots, etc. Then top with creme fraiche and bits of caviar or slivers of scallions. And any food that you love, once made mini, will be a hit: shot glasses of tomato soup, mini tamales, tiny skewers. For fresh food - go for a great herb mix salad, some nuts, slice a couple of grape tomatoes, add a bit of Feta or goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Very good, very cheap, and very easy.

These zucchini rounds with roasted tomatoes look delicious:

One of my favorite hors d'oeuvres is figs stuffed with goats cheese, roasted in the oven, and drizzled with a balsamic reduction.
