Kelly Ripa's daughter is showing that she can handle the heat while helping out with the family BBQ duties. 19-year-old Lola Consuelos was seen early Monday morning via some photos posted on her father Mark Consuelo's Instagram page. The "Riverdale" star has teamed up with Feeding America to celebrate the month of June all month long for dads as Father's Day quickly approaches. Mark is helping to break the stereotype that only men can work a BBQ grill and is urging other dads across the country to step up and include their daughters in the summer grilling sessions.

Lola Consuelos looked like a seasoned pro while handling a pair of tongs in front of the Consuelos family grill ... which was of course loaded up with delicious veggies.
As the boss of the house, Kelly Ripa has made it very clear on her TV show, "LIVE with Kelly and Ryan," that she does not eat anything on a bone, which probably has a pretty big impact on what the rest of the crew throws on the grill when it's time to cook a meal.
"It's grilling season!" Mark Consuelos declared alongside the pics of him and his daughter.
He explained that Lola Consuelos is going to help him celebrate an entire month of Father's Day fun, which will be "full of delicious food and giving back."
The husband of Kelly Ripa explained, "We are challenging fathers, father-figures and the daughters, and young women in their lives, to spend time together by the grill to help us fight food insecurity."
To participate, Mark and Lola are asking that BBQ dads/daughters take a selfie using the #GirlDadGrillDad hashtag. He also revealed a $1.5 million donation with Grill Mates to Feeding America.

As it is a rare occasion for the daughter of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to appear on social media, fans could not help but flood the comments with love for Lola and the daddy-daughter bond she shares with her father.
"The most adorable pics!!!" one comment read, as another fan labeled Mark and Lola the "dynamic duo."
"Love this! Nothing is better than a bond between a dad and his daughter!" a third comment stated.
Looks like there will be some good food served up at the Consuelos household this summer!
