I planted a couple different varieties of tomatoes, but my romas seem to have failed to grow. I was hoping to can them for pasta sauce but alas that isn’t happening.
Aside from those, I have sweet 100s and some heirloom variety I don’t know the name of. I could probably still make tomato sauce but I was led to believe that this variety isn’t that great for making sauces.
So I’m wondering what uses I have other than a bunch of sandwiches?

You can still make a yummy sauce from heirloom tomatoes… just google heirloom tomato sauce recipes. You can use them for bruschetta, caprese, pizza, tomato pie, panzanella, stuffed tomatoes, soup.
Tomatoe salad with fresh basil, mozzarella and balsamic is my favorite. I find my heirlooms are a bit too juicy to make a good sauce or can properly. Could probably cook them longer to cook them down a bit and make it work though.
Grilled cheese! Is that still a sandwich? I had that tonight.
I like to eat mine with Brie and basil
Tomato tarte!
Cucumber, tomato, thin sliced red onion, mozz pearls and you can go one of two ways:
Olive oil salt and pepper if it’ll be consumed in one day.
Newmans northern Italian, salt pepper, and some grated parm if you have it. Keeps for 2-3 but 3 is pushing it.
Slice, pour good EVOO and maybe a little red wine vinegar and crunchy Maldon salt and basil chiffonade.
