Oral contraceptive pills are not a reliable method of birth control until they take over control of your own hormones. They are not to be relied upon in the first month of use even if used correctly.
The odds of pregnancy are under 50/50 for even trying to get pregnant (and you are doing a pretty good job of that!), so it certainly could just be a food craving or a psychological wish to be pregnant driving a food craving. and testing is reliable about 1-2 weeks after the time when a menstrual period would be expected.
